Edit (character limit reached in previous post). Good to see "recruiting and training additional personnel" is confirmed/funded and also curious to see that the Maritime Helicopter Replacement to be funded is "tranche 1". What will "tranche 2" be when that is to be funded?

re abov e - Maintaining Maritime Capability "This initiative provides funding for additional patrols across the Naval fleet, regeneration of an Offshore Petrol vessel, .....critical repair and overhaul gaps."
Is the regeneration of an OPV the reintroduction of RNZNS "Otago" and will she have her midlife refit or just enough maintenance to resume active duty.

I have a question somewhat related to this story. What is the most recognizable or iconic bridge in NZ?

I ask because IMO the crimes the soldier pleaded guilty to really call for an old fashioned type of punitive measure to prevent future episodes.
Auckland Harbour Bridge is the only Iconic bridge that I know of.

Supporting the worlds largest terrorist organisation - the Chinese Communist Party - at its 3rd September military display showing off Communist China's growing arsenal of Nuclear Weapons, including the JL-1 air-launched long-range missile, the JL-3 sea-launched missile, and the DF-5C and DF-61 Interconnential Ballastic Missiles (ICBM), were none other than the long time New Zealand supports of the Communist Chinese Regime, Helen Clark and John Key, along with the North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and Myanmar’s military leader, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, who led the brutal takeover of the democratic elected government in 2021.

As well as observing the Chinese nuclear weapons passing in front of them, Helen Clark and John Key also got to enjoy seeing YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 anti-ship hypersonic missiles, the aircraft-carrier version of the J-35 stealth multirole fighter, and a large display of new robotic drones, including drone submarines such as the older-model HSU001 and the debut of the much larger AJX002 with a range to reach New Zealand waters from future CCP bases in the Solomon Islands.

Interestingly, at the parade the dictators Xi and Putin were caught out discussing immortality through organ transplants and advanced medical procedures.

'Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and (you can) even achieve immortality'.
- Putin to Xi, 3/9/25.

Given the extensively documented horror of the Chinese Communist Regime's forced organ transplants from those who oppose the Chinese Communist Party, refer “Tortured, drugged, and assaulted”: Chinese survivor of forced organ harvesting speaks out", the implications for Western Civilization and the New Zealand Defence Force of the growing power of the CCP are indeed grim.

Meanwhile the Chinese Communist regime continues at breakneck speed to triple its nuclear arsenal and accelerate its construction of the worlds largest navy as it expands through the Pacific with its eyes firmly on the resources of Antarctica just south of New Zealand.
