28711 (2023). Hon Peeni Henare to the Minister of Defence: Does the Minister intend to “establish a permanent, ring fenced Defence Capital Fund as part of the Budget to fund defence capability and estate procurement” as found on page 14 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if not, why not?

Hon Judith Collins: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio.
