BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT – The incoming government should extend the six most senior commanders in the NZDF for another two or three years (staggered) as a priority. The New Zealand Defence Force Galaxy comprises a 3-Star, six 2-Star (do the maths) and somewhere less than twenty 1-Stars.

China’s trawling destroys seabeds in its path and, surprisingly, they are even armed and military trained. Are they allowed to go over the sea and fish in somebody else’s waters? Quite the opposite.
