Spokesperson for
New Zealand must take all practicable steps to protect its borders and export base from unwanted threats and be a responsible international citizen by ensuring such threats do not leave our shores.
International concerns, fishing patrols, and voluntary conformity with an agreed quota management regime need to be addressed.
New Zealand First will provide conservation authorities with the necessary resources and legislative framework to ensure that the role of protecting the conservation estate is not at odds with commercial ventures which utilise that estate including the tourism industry, or outdoor recreational groups.
It is a basic right of all New Zealanders to live in a safe society.
Associate Spokesperson for
Our defence objectives are best achieved through trade, diplomacy, economic and technical aid, continuing support for the United Nations, and in peace-keeping and peace-making operations.
New Zealand First places great value on the service given by our veterans and accepts that the nation has a special obligation to them, particularly if they have suffered as a result of their service.
