Kiwi PM on defence ties with Australia

Maybe the Kiwis shouldn't have gutted their air force and they'd have something resembling a viable defence force. It was such a colossally bad decision to scrap their fighter jet squadrons in the RNZAF. As it is now, I reckon the Fijians could successfully invade NZ. The kiwis are completely reliant on Australia to defend them in the event of hostilities against them.

Australia is a good buffer zone for the Kiwi forward defence.
