In the recently unveiled coalition agreement, national defense and security remain a focal point. A key element of the strategy involves the procurement of ammunition, as well as potential enhancements to the nation's military force.
In a separate context, the ACT Party in New Zealand has expressed concerns about the impending regulations regarding ammunition purchases, set to commence in June 2025, due to ambiguity in the legislation's definition of ammunition. The party advocated for a delay until December 2026, a proposal that was rejected by National.
Furthermore, disagreements between the ACT Party and National arose during a review of the firearms registry, with ACT believing the review failed to meet their coalition agreement's safety and international comparison standards.
