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.

At the highest level (2-Star and above) their three-year appointments end in a matter of months.

China has the largest fleet of ocean-going fishing vessels, that cover the globe, as far away as South America on the other side of the world, and in 2018 China caught 18 million tons of seafood - four times as much as the fishing nations of Peru and Ecuador combined. 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.
