29311 (2023). Hon Peeni Henare to the Minister of Defence: Does the Minister intend to establish a New Zealand Border Protection Force “…combining the functions of the New Zealand Defence Force, New Zealand Customs Service and Immigration New Zealand”, 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.
