Our Mission
The Defsec New Zealand website went live in 2015, bringing the combined content of Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier defence, security, and fire protection publications together onto a single online platform. Defsec’s mission is to provide specialist news and analysis on the sectors that keep New Zealanders safe, and to do so in a way that is independent and non-partisan, and that eschews the transience of the 24-hour news cycle.
Although – by international standards – New Zealand is a small, wealthy, and relatively peaceful nation, we have unique perspectives to offer on issues of insecurity, disaster, and conflict, and on the enduring human search for safety, security, and peace. Defsec provides a voice to these perspectives.
