		Retaining a force that has never been, and is unlikely ever to be, used would require in excess of one billion dollars in capital expenditure and increases in the NZDF's operating baseline over the next 10 years in the region of $1.2 billion.
		While it is acknowledged that the air combat force may have played a useful role in confidence building in the Asia-Pacific region, that in itself is not considered a sufficient reason to justify the outlays required to maintain the capability.
		Managing the impact on the military and civilian members of the RNZAF affected by this decision is a priority task for the Minister of Defence, Chief of Defence Force and Chief of Air Staff.

		The Norwegian defence have been using ex-German arms and equipment up to this date, but it was never the intention of our authorities to rebuild the armed forces on German equipment.
		As early as 1944 it had been identified as paramount that the re-building of a Norwegian defence force would have to rely on the weapon industry of a great power, especially with regard to re-supply and support in future crises.
		That the Norwegian authorities failed in 1) informing the public that the destruction of German equipment was Allied policy and 2) see the economical potential for re-use of equipment in a country economically starved and set back by five years of occupation is another matter.

		As the polling stations closed, activists in the Norwegian left were pleased to see that the Bondevik government – together with its draconian dismantling of the welfare state – had suffered a devastating defeat.
		Due to the generalised shift to the right within the leadership of the labour movement over a period of years – not only on a European level, but also on a global scale – unfortunately, in spite of the victory, what we can expect is a policy of continued social austerity.
		In spite of this the latter remains an extra-parliamentary force.
