We do need to up our defence spending, in my view. Our armed forces, particularly our Navy, are something of an embarrassment.

Well this should make the right wing happy in NZ. Cut funding to health and education and housing and increase funds for defense.

We really need to find a better ally, the USA has nothing but bad intent for the average kiwi.

What do you mean.

We’ve got land to put bunkers in, and citizenship for sale.

We’re a perfect place to take billionaire investment money. That’s good for all of us.
