Gordon Campbell: On Our Looming Spending Spree On Japanese Frigates

Like the Americans, maybe we should be re-naming our Ministry of Defence as the Ministry of War. The new frigates New Zealand is about to buy (to replace its ANZAC frigates) will have a vastly greater operational range and be capable of carrying Tomahawk Cruise missiles, amongst other lethal weaponry. At great expense, we’re equipping our navy and air force to help our allies carry out an air/sea attack upon China, which also happens to be the main market for our exports. To be clear, we’re not investing in equipment designed to defend the New Zealand homeland, or our exclusive economic zone.
