Rt. Hon Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister Hon. David Seymour, Deputy Prime Minister Rt. Hon Winston Peters, Leader NZ First Hon. Judith Collins, Minister of Defence Hon. Mark Mitchell, Minister of Police Hon. Chris Penk, Associate Minister of Defence Hon. Casey Costello, Associate Minister of Police All National, ACT and New Zealand First Members of Parliament Tēnā koutou, New Zealanders expect their Defence Force to be politically neutral, professionally trained and focused on defending our country – not rehearsing civil conflict with “Christian extremists” cast as the enemy. The NZ Police list of Designated Terrorist Entities, includes 23 groups, none of which are Christian affiliated.

In our recent Substack, “Why Are The NZ Defence Force Training To Kill Christians??”, and accompanying video, we show leaked NZDF training materials used at Burnham as recently as last month. In this military exercise, the core enemy group, the “Visayan People’s Front” (VPF), is described as a “Christian extremist group” recruiting indigenous youth with promises of a “return to the traditional ways of a Christian nation,” explicitly mirroring Māori-Christian history and present‑day rural/urban political divides. The script reads like a cut‑and‑paste of today’s culture war: Christian so‑called “extremists”, campus occupations, referendums, coups and armed factions – all woven together in a way that treats conservative or Christian worldviews as a security threat.

This is happening alongside NZDF’s longstanding commitment to Pride Pledge / Rainbow Tick / LGBTQIA+ and wider DEI structures. An OIA response shows NZDF has spent over $45,000 over the past three years on Pride Pledge fees alone, with compulsory “rainbow awareness” training, rainbow KPIs and participation in nationwide cross‑agency rainbow leadership networks embedded through the organisation. This is public money underwriting an ideological programme, not just neutral ‘inclusion’. We identify this as an example of “psychological warfare: narrative, language and training materials being used to dehumanise, destabilise and push populations toward crisis so a pre‑baked ‘solution’ can be imposed.” When a fictional enemy looks and sounds this much like a portion of our own people – defined largely by faith and socially conservative values – and when troops are authorised in the scenario to use deadly force in that context, we are no longer talking about abstract doctrine. We are grooming a mindset in which ordinary New Zealanders of certain beliefs can be mentally placed on the other side of the gun.

Trans rights activists label ordinary citizens who reject trans ideology as ‘extreme right wing Christians’… which is untrue. Now we can see why that’s an important part of the rhetoric they have created. Are we seeing the start of the next ‘phase’ of psychological warfare in New Zealand? Penny demonstrated this in her earlier analysis of the ‘Anti Transgender Extremism’ publication that can be found on the NZPolice website. Is DEI a Trojan horse that replaces merit‑based selection with equity targets, potentially placing less suitable individuals in strategic and senior roles within our Defence Force and intelligence agencies – and compromising the protection of New Zealand citizens?

This raises urgent questions for Parliament: ● Who approved these specific NZDF training scenarios, and what independent oversight checks are in place for ideological bias where religion and politics are concerned? ● How far have external DEI / rainbow standards shaped training and doctrine, beyond HR policies and workplace culture? ● What protections exist to ensure that mainstream Christian or conservative views are NOT quietly re‑classified as “extremism” inside our Defence Force?

We respectfully ask you to: 1. Initiate select committee scrutiny (e.g. through the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee) of NZDF training content and its relationship with Pride Pledge / Rainbow Tick and other DEI providers. And for this committee to declare conflicts of interest! 2. Require disclosure of all NZDF contracts, spending and policy links related to rainbow and DEI certification schemes and programme implementation, including weaving DEI through training manuals and workplace policies over at least the last five years. 3. Review, in light of the Bill of Rights, how “extremism” is being defined and operationalised in NZDF doctrine and training.
