About Indefensible New Zealand
New Zealand's national security is rarely discussed in detail outside a small group of government officials and academics. The Indefensible New Zealand podcast is designed to change that with a wide ranging and ongoing conversation that everyone can understand. Free of the constraints of word limits and sound bites, the host, Simon Ewing-Jarvie, presents a fascinating, 'whole of government' view of what needs to be done to keep Kiwis safe - now and in the future. And by future, we mean this series looks out to 2050 and beyond. Many guests will appear on this show - some whose names you'll recognise and others you will never have heard of. Together, they help to bring this important topic to life.

It was also intended to address the lack of voice that defence force personal experience. And finally, its style was provocative by design. I wrote and recorded articles with the specific intention of getting cut through and provoking a conversation that is sadly lacking in New Zealand. But the fact that others were happy to use my work without reference or a pay for their second coffee while reading my free material highlighted one fact. It was time to acknowledge that there is no appetite really for funding an independent think tank or independent thought on national security in New Zealand. […]
