Is this an admission that the the defense force see climate change dropping down in the risk list, getting less woke or just facing up to the facts.

It is almost certainly direction from the Minister, reflecting
government policy across every portfolio. Like other Ministers, that
simple fact will of course never be admitted by the CofC . . .

Precedent, and knowledge of similar actions by other Ministers that
have been documented. Collins is probably better at concealing
direction of what advice gets covered than some of the other
Ministers. The CofC have a history of denying that climate change is a
problem . . .

Yes - a guess. No facts, just supposition. I don't know why you persist with suh stupidity.

Just answering a question that was too hard for you, tony - but that
is always the case, isn't it?

New Zealand has a strategic interest in the Pacific - and the ship
that sunk was a critical part of our readiness to assist South Pacific
nations in the event of known risks from climate change. That appears
to be changing to be able to send our troops to ''peace-keeping''
assignments with some weapons and munitions - specifically a range of
drones plus ammunition for small arms plus some land vehicles.

These are politician decisions that are being presented to New
Zealanders, tony - not necessarily those of the Defence Forces. So
you ask questions for which you will not accept any answer; without
any knowledge or even capacity to think for yourself to answer the
question raised by Gordon - you are useless to man and beast, tony.

Abuse removed - again - it's getting boring removing Rich's offensiveness.

A complete avoidance of the topic and no answer to the question removed.
Keep on topic dickbot or don't bother to post.
Your holiday was wasted, you are just as offensive as you were before you scuttled off. Which facility were you in?

What "known risks"?

you ask questions for which you will not accept any answer; without

I don't see much evidence that you think for yourself. You just repeat
things you read in the papers.

What's to deny? Climate change isn't a problem.
