Webinar video: God Defend New Zealand
New Zealand's defence investment is landing the same way it always has: slowly, bureaucratically, and after the need has already been declared. In this webinar, retired Major General John Howard presents his new report God Defend New Zealand, which argues the country must move from an industrial-age acquisition model to one that operates at the speed of technological change. Sir Rod Drury joins as commentator, making the case that defence has become a through-line to economic security, energy sovereignty and New Zealand's role in the South Pacific. The discussion covers recruitment and retention, sovereign space capability, maritime domain awareness, the shift toward autonomous systems, and how private enterprise and government can work together more effectively.
