NZ VCDS Sticks it to select ctte
extended report on 'Morning Report' (quality radio news programme) this am in NZ on redundancies, morale and UK recruiting. VCDS gave the ctte a clear answer. the thrust of which was; 4 year pay freeze, more have left through PVR than were expected as a result of recent redundancies, general feeling of being shat on and buggered about. morale low. Thanks for efforts during CCh earthquake: gvt response was spend loads +give out a book - some refused.

Kluge,
Very funny, haha.
Maybe you forgot to consider the 50,000 Kiwi snipers out there with bush experience, taste for blood and telescopic hunting rifles. Probably some even with NVG's.
The mighty English couldn't conquer the place after decades of drama. Throw a few bbq's, hangi's and free piss on the beach and the Aussies would be toast.
Haha!

Aircraft Carrier?
What aircraft carrier?!
I guess if the Aussies had Harriers they could use a converted container ship? (will never understand why UK gave up the Harriers....)
Anyway, it's never going to happen. I cannot think of any other two countries that have such a close relationship/ bond.
As I said before, the boys/ girls would get on the beers together and all would grind to a halt. (Aussie beer is cheaper in NZ than Oz)

Too true! The ADF is half full of Kiwis anyway.
In the future I'd be seriously worried about emerging expeditionary forces in our region though. I really don't understand NZ's defence posture (or lack thereof).
