Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

Thank you for your 2025 update- OIA 2025 5349 Luke response letter.pdf

Could you please advise progress for the establishment of a New Zealand Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal as described in the petition of Thomas Peter Alan Ward and the submission heard in parliament in July 2017. Are there any more progress since 2025 reply noted above?

What other new medal programs is the NZDF currently working on?

Also, noted "The mounting of medals and provision of medal ribbon bars at public (NZDF) expense is provided to NZDF serving personnel because they are required to wear medals on their uniform as a part of their employment. " Can I please request a copy of your most current medal mounting supplier list.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
