The Defence Force is enjoying a surge in applicants. There's no clear link to COVID-19 but there have been a lot of people enlisting after losing jobs elsewhere.

From July 1 this year to November 1 the Defence Force had more than 3000 applications - a 35 percent rise compared with two years ago.

Anger has erupted among tenants of a Chinese apartment rental company. That’s after the company’s funding chain cut off, prompting landlords to send their residents packing.

A former president of a provincial High Court has been convicted of accepting $10 million in bribes. Though he’s now awaiting his sentence, the trial overlooked an even bigger crime.

The last government finally confirmed the replacement of our aging C-130H Hercules. These airframes will be over 60 years old when they are replaced in 2024. But they are being replaced with C-130J-30 Super Hercules, so what is the difference other than the airframe not being in it's 60's. The NZG ordered 5 C-130J-30 aircraft ordered in June 2020 to replace our existing fleet of C-130Hs. The good thing here is it is one for one and no drop in fleet numbers.
