Hon RON MARK: More good news. A further planned investment has gone to market seeking proposals to upgrade the external communications systems on HMNZS Canterbury, the offshore patrol vessels HMNZS Otago and Wellington, and delivery is also expected before the end of 2022. These ships conduct fisheries patrols, protect our borders, and support disaster relief operations such as HMNZS Wellington did at Whakaari / White Island. Communications at sea are critical for the safety of the crews and to ensure New Zealand vessels are able to operate effectively together and with our partners. Investment in all three of these capabilities is critical to national resilience and has been deferred for far too long, and that's why this coalition Government is taking care of business.
