Alliance with Fiji

Radio NZ reports:

The government says it will explore joining a defence alliance between Australia and Fiji, that commits both parties to “act to meet common danger”.

The NZ Defence Force has 10,000 regular force and 3,000 reserve force, Fiji has 6,500 regular and 6,200 reserve force, so not vastly different from NZ.

The ADF is around 60,000 regular and 30,000 reserve.

I like the idea of a Pacific Alliance.
