According to Opposition spokesperson for Defence and Veterans Chris Penk MP, New Zealand must learn lessons from Afghanistan if we are to respond properly to the moral and military challenges of the future.

Let’s talk about Afghanistan. The security situation in that country has undergone such a dramatic transformation in the past several weeks that it’s probably unwise of me to record my thoughts on it now. After all, the next several weeks could yet register a further shift – as the situation is clearly not settled, as I write – that other lessons to be learnt may well overtake any that I offer now.

But make no mistake, the decision of Australia, the USA, and the UK to tighten their security alliance - and provide Australia with the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines - is laden with potential repercussions in the Indo-Pacific region.

The move has infuriated France, with the AUKUS arrangement supplanting a previous deal worth nearly $100 billion for France to supply Australia with diesel-powered submarines, leading the European nation to recall its ambassadors from Australia and the USA.
