Yes I have heard of this guy too...I think he is particularly angry about the state of the New Zealand military...After the cancellation of the Pakistani F-16s, the newly-elected government controversially dismantled the Air Force strike wing, leaving a handful of C-130s as the backbone, for example....I suppose his cruise missile project only highlighted this...So no wonder they didn't hire him.
A US company was actually going to hire him until the government shut him down.
