Is New Zealand doing enough for those who serve in our military?
On Anzac Day, New Zealanders across the country honoured our military service personnel by standing in their driveways in a unique show of support. While we physically couldn't come together, we were united in our respect for our veterans and service personnel.
But could, or should New Zealand do more to recognise and support the people who serve and defend our country today, and every day — including their whānau?
How our military personnel are treated during and after their service speaks volumes about our values and who we are as New Zealanders. Those who have served our country shouldn't be left behind.

The Veterans' Advisory Board want to know how New Zealanders feel about service personnel and what our country does for them. We wish to gauge whether New Zealanders think we should have a binding agreement or 'Kawenata' between service personnel and their whānau, the Government, and the people of New Zealand.
The Veterans' Advisory Board want New Zealanders to have a say about a Kawenata. Your opinion matters, and it will shape what happens next for service personnel and their whānau.
