To meet those requirements our New Zealand Army leader has devised a new blueprint that she believes will “create a fighting-fit force for the future!”
Our army leadership haven’t just pasted some PR spin over a previously used “keep the polies happy double speak” to present a new glossy “we’re ready” plan to show us they are on to it.
We’re not talking about new small arms, we’re not talking about new armoured vehicles, we’re not talking about new heavy artillery and we’re not even talking about new state of the art drones!
Thinking outside of the square does not even come close to being able to describe this proposal. Forget small, incremental or staggered change.
This is big time step change thinking! This is cutting edge, world leading thinking! You could even say revolutionary!
This change moves beyond “continuous improvement,” this is a complete overhaul of how things will be done!
Army leadership have taken a strategic approach and focused on achieving a radical, non-linear change. Army personnel have been emphasized as the people who will ensure this profound, sweeping change takes root, aiming for an “ownership” mentality rather than passive compliance.
This change pushes beyond comfort zones, acknowledging that real progress requires navigating uncertainty, challenging the norm, breaking new ground and managing the risk inherent in such a change!
This new blueprint is the brainchild of Chief of the Army, Major General Rose King.
Central to Roses new plan “to create a fighting-fit force for the future” is to implement a Bicultural Heritage Framework.
Now this is where this new plan begins to drift into the realms of disbelief!
To do this Rose is calling on the help of, none other than, Rongo, the god of peace, Papatūānuku, the Earth Mother, and Hine-nui-te-pō, the goddess of death.
This bicultural overhaul of Army doctrine features Māori cosmology at its core!
The NZ Army’s new “general orders” to soldiers uses a temple of te ao Māori gods as guiding influences for its strategy “to achieve a bicultural status by enabling the recognition of Māori cultural interests as they are guaranteed within Te Tiriti o Waitangi”.
The new orders introduced the Cultural Skills Framework set expectations for personnel at every leadership level. Expectations that included understanding the Treaty of Waitangi, engaging with Māori communities, practising tikanga and developing te reo Māori.
Is this not Major General Rose King simply trying to emulate what the higher education sector has been inflicting on students for decades and is now immersing it throughout the structure of the army?
Let’s call it what it is ….. BRAINWASHING!
Do you think the government ministers are now asking – “Is Major General Rose King fit for the job?”
The new doctrine has taken the NZ Army’s 1994 adoption of its role as the iwi of Ngāti Tūmatauenga – the people of the god of war – as the name for its guiding framework.
It states in its introduction: “As the people of Tūmatauenga, it is crucial for us to understand the cosmological traditions associated with the deity whose name we bear.”
This Bicultural Heritage Framework is intended to link identity to operational capability and argues it creates a shared identity that will build stronger cohesion than hierarchy alone. It said doing so better prepared soldiers for modern forms of conflict, including disinformation and psychological operations.
“…better prepared soldiers for modern forms of conflict, including disinformation and psychological operations” by invoking Maori mythology??
Gee thanks Rose. How to make our army the laughing stock of the world in one easy lesson!
The Bicultural policy set a vision of the Army as an expeditionary combat force strengthened by bicultural heritage and a diverse workforce reflecting New Zealand society. Is Rose trying to vie with our Navy in the diversity stakes? That hasn’t worked out too well for them!
I have to say words fail me!
The promotion of “Maori Wonderfulness” just reached a new level!
The forces of Ethnocracy will have won a very decisive battle if this blatant over reach of invented “partnership,” Maori Wonderfulness and Maori spirituality is not promptly and completely quashed by Chris Luxon’s government!
It is not hard to imagine some long serving and, yes male, senior army commanders, shaking their heads in wonder at this use of and reliance on the spiritual and supernatural to become “Agile, adaptive and lethal.”
That the chief of the army has the desire and the ability to implement a cultural framework based on a woke indoctrination of myths, mysticism and mumbo jumbo is symptomatic of the way those firmly embedded in positions of influence in government and government departments are able manipulate their employees and the populace.
What will it take for the general public to see where this insidious creep of Māorification will end up?
How do we get the general public to shrug of the pall of apathy that pervades our political landscape? If we are unable to do that just imagine, for one moment, how Willie Jackson and Rawiri Waititi would take Roses marvellous plan, add their “polish” to it and then we would see “Maorificationus Extremus!”
Let’s take this stupidity and elevate into the BIZARRE!
Our new “Bicultural Defence Force” framework designed by Chief of Army Major General Rose King, could have a training manual something like this –

Our new “Bicultural Defence Force” framework designed by Chief of Army Major General Rose King, could have a training manual something like this –
1. First, we shock them with a haka! Not just any haka, we use “Kapa o Pango” haka. That scares the sh-t out of the enemy!
2. We then show them our sharpened taiaha’s, our beautiful Patu’s and our Pounamu Mere!
3. Our final stratagem we employ will be the sight of the newly prepared hangi pits, fires freshly lit, ready to offer the final indignity to our enemies!
Yes, that’s ridiculous I know but then is not Major General Rose King’s belief that our combat force would be strengthened by a bicultural heritage framework that set “expectations for personnel at every leadership level. Those included understanding the Treaty of Waitangi, engaging with Māori communities, practising tikanga and developing te reo Māori.”Just as ridiculous?
For leaders in the Army, it said they should know at least two waiata, pronounce te reo Māori words correctly and have “beginner’s use” of te reo Māori. That included being able to “interact in predictable exchanges” using te reo Māori.
OMG! A very bizarre thought has just struck me; The ability to “interact in predictable exchanges” using te reo Māori. Are they expecting a Maori uprising and therefore Maori prisoners???
Is that thinking out of the square or what? Or is that just STUPID!

You forgot the Whakapohane. The 21 bum salute, as practiced by Dun Mihaka. The enemy will then fall to the ground and die fron fits of laughter.
Seriously, when the government insists on DEI and ideological appointments to senior positions in our armed services, judiciary, emergency services and public services, this is what you are going to get. That's why the navy sinks ships and crashes into Devonport wharf.
You know what works within a military framework?
Leadership!
Strong, competent, lead from the front and don't ask someone to do a job you are not prepared to do from the front leadership.
This is not that.
This is a signal(wo)mans virtue signal.
Major General Rose King looks like, speaks like and behaves like the lack lustre type of leader within a framework of 'violence' that does not understand that military revolves around the potential for conflict and the preperatrion for that for survival.
She looks like every other progressive liberal middle class human who sees feelings, rather than actions as the crux of conflict.
This may be the case within a communal framework (like a school) but in (let us say) the military conflict framework of the Ukraine it cannot and will never be the crux because violence is that!
How did she get to her position with the seemingly lack of that insight? We live in strange times indeed.
Michael Laws coverage on The Platfrom essential viewing. The astonishing thing is that the proposal proceeded so far. In many fields fera of cancellation blocks sane comment on matters pandering to maori. Even more so in the Army. With soldier behind him instilled with TPM/Waititi/Packer anti colonist rhetoric, in an armed combat situation any soldier, and especaily a leader, with known strong reservations about maori favouritism would be in grave danger. With the maori utu tradition the risk of final cancellation will be considerable..
One wonders how much input came from the senior Maori advisor to the Defence Force, one Lieutenant Colonel Glenn King, who just happens to be Rose King's husband
I can envisage the near future when the NZ defense force personnel will be trained in the use of hand-to-hand combat with greenstone "meres" and learning the ancient art of navigating a "waka" over thousands of kms by immersing their hands overboard into the waves.
Apparently, "historians" have researched and it has been "proven" to work.
Hasn't Luxon done such a wonderful job of getting rid of this garbage.
Does this mean that, in the event we ever win a battle, the army will return with slaves? If they lose they will be content to become the slaves?
God help us all. Might as well give the kapa haka brigade air rifles
Luxon get rid of these people.
Seems that they truly believe any of this manufactured bulls..t will be of some use in defending NZ.
Did they implement these policies thinking that they could get away with it ?
If they did, it shows their incompetence, and yet more reason to dismiss them.
Luxon, do something, say something, show some leadership !!!!
There is a Murphy's Law for this: "It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious".
I can't see how Rose King can be allowed to remain Chief of the NZ Army.
NZ has suffered under the incompetence of British officers many times in the past - Ruweisat Ridge comes to mind for example.
Now we are proving to the world that our defense forces have deteriorated to this level - our reputation is seriously tarnished with this requirement to follow quasi religious nonsense.
What are the American Military , and allies, thinking about this stupidity ?
Should NZ need their aid, are they likely to say that we have not prepared ourselves properly, so bugger off, it's your problem not ours ?
Luxon should be ordering a court martial for those responsible for this damage to our reputation.
But as we now know how weak Luxon is, I bet nothing will happen.
Very ffective armies (resaonably equipped)are ones where the soldiers are dedicated to their cause (or made to be by enforcers on their own side). The Ukarianians an example of the former. We will have one quater motivated by the vision of total maori control, some of the 3/4 rest ambivalent, and many inwardly far from convinced of the worth of the cause of maori advancement. Seems to me Rose King and her witch doctor husband should go immediately.
You mean a "wo-person" is running the Army??? Like the Navy commanders who run aground in shallow water.... DEI stupidity on steroids.
Is all the allegiance to Maori culture a precursor to the Army being in a support role to a " government " run by Te Parti Maori ?
We have really fallen to the level of a classic " sh..thole African country." !
Whose name is going down in history for this - its not Ardern et al, but Luxon.
Luxon and National Missing In Action (MIA) again, tho' good on Judith Collins for putting it on pause when she found out. 'Pause' however is not enough - Firing Squad comes to mind but they'd never allow that nowadays.
I would ponder, did Judith Collins have a "hand" in this appointment?
If NZ der's think this is over the top, look at our Airforce, just as bad.
