Brigitte Morten: political commentator on US War Secretary Pete Hegseth calling on other countries to spend more on defence

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says New Zealand is 'freeloading' off the American military. In an address at an Asia-Pacific security conference, Hegseth called for nations to spend 3.5 percent of GDP on defence. He says Wellington's plan to boost spending to 2 percent in the next eight years isn't enough. Political commentator Brigitte Morten says recent defence spending moves indicate the Government is aware the sector needs more funding - and they're making moves to boost it.
