Yes. When I see someone saying "climate changes all the time, it's natural" in the same breath as "it isn't changing now, it isn't getting warmer", I have a strong suspicion that's a person whose mind...

Debating climate and making personal attacks is a tad of topic. re RNZN Maning issues, Giving NZ more frigates and allowing kiwis to serve in RAN is unwise and will only make manning issues worse. NZ...

Siphoning off Kiwi sailors while wanting to give them extra Frigates is exactly the wrong way to help NZ. And while off topic, my Grandmother is still very sharp of mind, thanks for the concern. Her...

"Just because they don't get the media attention doesn't mean the scientist who refute climate change are wrong." The data on the other hand does say they are wrong.

Who's data? Lies, damn lies and statistics. What warming? What country has disappeared under the oceans? What difference will removing carbon emissions do to the "rise" in temperature? Skipper, what...

So back to the previous discussion I still don't see any good reason to spend Aussie dollars on the NZ navy as they only spend 1.1% GDP on defence I think they can afford to pay for there own OPV's,...

That is more than double the current spend, must have been for the frigates.Agreed NZ will buy for NZ needs/wants when NZ is ready.

I think something larger is required. NZ has a lot of area to cover and some pretty heavy weather to cope with. The Pacific Patrol Boats (and their replacements) are fine for the nations that use them...
