The ACT Party argues the re-election of Donald Trump is another reason for New Zealand to ramp up its Defence spend. It's proposing an investment of at least 2% of GDP, with the current spend sitting at 0.9%. ACT's defence spokesperson Mark Cameron says the world is becoming a less safe and predictable place, and New Zealand needs to pull its weight in traditional alliances. He told Tim Beveridge that its incumbent on our crown to spend a bit more on investing in the men and women who wear our national colours every day to protect our national interests.
