Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she will not be seeking re-election and will stand down by February 7.
The Labour caucus will now ascertain whether any candidate has more than two-thirds of the caucus support. The caucus will vote on January 22. If a leader is successfully elected, Ardern will issue her resignation to the Governor-General. If no one can get this level of support, the contest will go to the wider membership.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A third of Royal New Zealand Navy ships are docked due to a shortage of sailors, causing a loss of “significant flexibility,” the service’s top officer told Defense News.
Last month, the 279-foot offshore patrol vessel HMNZS Wellington became the third ship to enter a period of idleness, joining the Navy’s other offshore patrol vessel HMNZS Otago and one of the two remaining 180-foot inshore patrol vessels, HMNZS Hawea.

The Royal Navy’s pursuit of capability adaptability should re-assure our own defence policy makers that modularity is worth investigating, writes maritime capability specialist and former Royal New Zealand Navy Officer Andrew Watts.

The escalating cost of such platforms is now forcing even the largest and most advanced navies to consider alternatives. As discussed in an earlier article (Modularity and the Shape of New Zealand’s Next Naval Fleet) published in Issue 22 of Line of Defence, the most promising of these alternatives is ‘capability modularity’.
