Dunne welcomes RSA
report
United Future leader and chair of Parliament’s foreign affairs, defence and trade select committee, Peter Dunne, has welcomed the report /Defending New Zealand/ issued today by the Returned Services Association as a valuable contribution to an urgently-needed national debate.
“United Future doesn’t necessarily agree with everything the RSA proposes,” he says “but we warmly support the call a multi-party approach to defence issues; the call to play to our strengths and the need to integrate our defence forces more closely with Australia’s.
“These are all key aspects of United Future’s approach to defence issues, and I have made it known to the RSA that we will be happy to work closely with them to progress the areas we have in common.
“This significant report, only the RSA’s 3rd of this type in 90 years, is a breath of fresh air in the defence debate and is full of practical commonsense,” said Mr Dunne.
