Now, right, the reason I have sought or requested to take a call in this debate is because as National's spokesperson for defence, I am becoming increasingly concerned that we are in an evolving, a dynamic, a challenging, and a very concerning situation globally as well as domestically. I think we can all understand some of the implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and what that might mean for us, as well as any other country around the world, reflecting on the capability of their defence force to provide support and to defend the interests of their country when necessary.
