ANALYSIS: The news that the lockdown will continue – another week for Aucklanders and at least four days for everyone else – should not come as a surprise. The Government’s goal is elimination and there was clearly a risk the virus could have been carried to the South Island, or anywhere else for that matter.

The discussion about ‘grey zone’ security threats is a fascinating one. I would argue that these threats represent an opportunity for defence to play the leading role in a new whole-of-government approach that feels overdue already.
It’s a timely discussion, I believe, with plenty of discourse (including in these pages recently) about the possibilities offered in the new information domain. It’s also very timely as the government considers – or at least should be considering – new ways of ensuring that the NZDF and Ministry of Defence are viewed as serious players in defending this nation’s interests.
