Defence Minister Peeni Henare says the new Aukus defence pact is not cause for him to re-evaluate the Government's direction in defence spending, which he has said may be pushed into the future due to Covid-19.
The Aukus pact announced by Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States last week, will have New Zealand’s only formal defence ally, Australia, purchase at least six nuclear-powered submarines and a raft of long-range missiles in the coming decades, in an effort to counter China’s rising power in the Indo-Pacific region.

France should not have been surprised that Australia cancelled a submarine contract, as major concerns about delays, cost overruns and suitability had been aired officially and publicly for years, Australian politicians said.

Over the past two years, China has punished Canada and Australia for actions that the Chinese deem objectionable - and in response, both countries have faced unjust detentions of their citizens and sudden, harsh trade barriers.
Yet these two members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance — which also includes the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand — have responded differently. That's evident in the recent launch of the Australia/U.K./U.S. security pact called AUKUS, from which Canada is conspicuously absent.
