PHOTO: NZDF/SUPPLIEDThe New Zealand Defence Force has quietly disposed of $29 million worth of air defence missiles which were never used or brought into service. As a result, the New Zealand Army no longer has any dedicated air defence capabilities. An Official Information Act (OIA) request made by the Otago Daily Times reveals Mistral short range air defence missiles were removed from New Zealand service more than a decade ago. The OIA response, attributed to Air Commodore AJ Woods, of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF), said New Zealand initially bought 12 launchers and 24 missiles in 1997. In total, the system cost about $29 million and was never deployed operationally or live-fired on a regular basis.

She intends to stay on as an MP and sit with the Maori Party. This is quite a coup by the Maori Party. My sense is that over the past few years Labour relations with the Maori Party have improved significantly. In possibly related news it is rumoured that former Labour MP Louisa Wall will stand for the Maori Party in Manurewa.

VIDEO SERIESRod Oram: Anxiety into action‘Anxiety into action’ is the theme of this 10th and final episode in our Newsroom video series The Way Forward about the ways we are tackling the climate crisis in Aotearoa. Yet that anxiety can also spur us into action; and help us work with others to push for positives changes. First, Niki Harré, who specialises in the psychological aspects of community and sustainability issues, sheds light on anxiety and action, and the relationship between them. The event was hosted by St-Matthew-in-the-City in the centre of Auckland, and the church community had invited Wilson and Rod Oram, the presenter of this Newsroom video series, to help them with the session. The scale and breadth of the programme last year were testament to the burgeoning wealth of positive climate action around the country.

Sanctimony is defined as an action or practise of acting as if one were morally superior to other people. One of the most well-known phrases from the Bible on this subject is "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." For others it seems, it is a year or two at a finishing school that determines suitability for representation in public life. Just as we know our own truth, so too do each of us laugh and cry at different times and for entirely different reasons. - Gerrard Eckhoff is a former Otago Regional councillor and was a two-term Act New Zealand list MP from 1999-2005.
