The 'number 8 wire' days for NZ's defence force are over – new priorities will demand bigger budgets

New Zealanders have been put on notice that defence and security are among the bigger challenges the country faces this century.

Key Points: 
  • New Zealanders have been put on notice that defence and security are among the bigger challenges the country faces this century.
  • The release last week of a new national security strategy and defence policy strategy statement underscored the urgency of the required response.
  • But this will require financial and social investment in the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) at a scale not seen for decades.

Underfunding and apathy

    • At the end of the Cold War in 1991, defence expenditure was 2.26% of GDP.
    • Analysts have previously pointed to a degree of public apathy and negative perception of the NZDF.
    • A poll in 2007 showed a majority of New Zealanders were unwilling to see taxes increase to pay for defence.
    • The documents identify several challenges that logic dictates will require increased funding and better public support for defence.

The technology deficit

    • The strategy statement notes that military technology is “evolving at an exponential rate”.
    • The NZDF “needs to be more agile in adopting new technologies, including those that will help protect New Zealand and those that can project force”.
    • By contrast, the cover of the design principles document offers a clue to the challenge by featuring a 1980s-designed ANZAC frigate warship.
    • As one critical assessment in 2020 argued, “The decision to scrap air combat [fighter jet] capability in 2001 appears particularly reckless.”

Skills, people and pay

    • The NZDF needs to “adapt to a changing labour force to attract appropriate personnel”.
    • The 2022 NZDF annual report noted how the challenges in recruiting and retaining personnel affect operational readiness and resilience.
    • Given the employment market offers “remuneration rates greater than the NZDF currently provides”, a new pay model is needed.
    • Finally, the NZDF “will be called upon more often” for contingencies that include armed conflict, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

Cutting-edge new aircraft have increased NZ’s surveillance capacity – but are they enough in a changing world?

A cutting-edge maritime surveillance aircraft, the P-8A is also operated by Australia, India, Norway, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Key Points: 
  • A cutting-edge maritime surveillance aircraft, the P-8A is also operated by Australia, India, Norway, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.
  • As well as search and rescue, the aircraft will conduct maritime surveillance and intelligence gathering, and are capable of anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare.
  • Air Vice-Marshal Andrew Clark describes the plane as “the modern standard in technology” for maritime surveillance.

Defence and military priorities

    • Its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) covers 4.4 million square km of ocean, a staggering 15 times larger than the land mass.
    • Intelligence, border security and resources agencies monitor commercial shipping and recreational boating in the EEZs of New Zealand, Niue and Raratonga.
    • P-8As will be able to conduct searches and drop life rafts and survival equipment – but they were ordered to meet future defence and security challenges.
    • The 2018 Strategic Defence Policy Statement warned of military, cybersecurity, transnational crime and terrorism threats.

Best use of resources

    • We are already witnessing increasing need for maritime surveillance with rising geopolitical tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, as foreign investment in submarines and warships increases.
    • Australian P-8As are currently monitoring two Chinese “spy ships” loitering near naval exercises off Australia.
    • Several states are stepping up activities on a warming continent that is strategically situated and potentially rich in mineral resources.
    • Four is a bare minimum, given how servicing or overseas deployment could leave only two locally based functioning aircraft.

Time for a maritime patrol review

    • Its Border Force agency contracts a commercial organisation, Surveillance Australia, to patrol the Australian EEZ for illegal fishing, immigration and quarantine breaches, and human, drug and arms trafficking.
    • Border Force’s Future Maritime Surveillance Capability Project seeks to update Australian maritime surveillance to be cost-effective, while also meeting the challenges of an evolving and complex national security environment.
    • New Zealand could also benefit from a fresh review to consider whether the modest fleet of P-8As should continue to be viewed as a multi-agency asset.
    • This would ensure best-practice military employment of the P-8A in response to national, regional and international defence challenges.
