Subject: Official Information request - Long term leave policies

 

 

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

 

Questions have been raised in the media by defense analysts as to how the
NZDF ended up with one of its soldiers fighting and dying as a mercenary
in Ukraine.

I would like to request:

1) All rules, orders, regulations and other official documents issued by
the Defence Force that regulate unpaid leave for NZDF personnel.

2) Confirmation whether the NZDF is investigating other personnel subject
to service law who may have committed mutiny under the Armed Forces
Discipline Act 1971 by combining to resist lawful authority in the NZDF in
regards policies prohibiting personnel on unpaid leave from taking part in
hostilities against Russian-speaking civilians in Ukraine, as Dominic
Abelen did.

 

Yours faithfully,

Roger Brown
