- Description
Four New Zealand soldiers are blindfolded and tied to posts about to be shot. A senior officer (Defence chief Lieutenant General Jerry Mataparae) comments to his companion (Wayne Mapp, Minister of Defence) that 'this is the cheapest way to fire them'. Refers to the launch by John Key of the Defence White Paper, the first comprehensive defence review in 13 years, which sets the defence blueprint for the next 25 years. fourteen hundred jobs currently done by those in uniform will be given to civilians. The government says these are back room roles covering administration, IT, some museum staff, some band members and Air Force photographers. The government said some roles will be cut altogether in an effort to save money but it does not know how many at this stage.
