This publication was issued as part of the 2009 Defence Review. Launched on 26 June 2009, the public consultation process encouraged all New Zealanders to 'Have their Say'. Due to public demand, the written submission process was extended beyond its scheduled closing date of 24 August 2009.
As part of the consultation process a total of 16 public meetings were held in Auckland, Takapuna, Whangarei, Tauranga, Hastings, Palmerston North, Wanganui, Dunedin, Blenheim, Westport, Christchurch, New Plymouth, Upper Hutt, Masterton and Hamilton.
Internal focus groups have also been held involving NZDF personnel at 7 camps and bases around New Zealand. In addition, information has been gathered from Defence academics, New Zealand youth, and the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association.
Over 600 submissions and the results of these consultations informed the Secretary of Defence in finalising the Defence Assessment 2010.
