Exercise Viper 2011
Exercise Viper is a combined arms exercise that took place in June 2011, and involved over 400 soldiers and officers, and over 100 vehicles, providing the logistics, medical, artillery, communications and engineering units required to complete the exercise.
Whether firing small arms, detonating 200kg of explosives, or using LAVs in the field - Exercise Viper allows NZ Army to plan and conduct training scenarios that in turn allow soldiers and officers to access a range of experiences under various conditions, environments, and time requirements - so that New Zealand's Army remains upskilled, and ready to go.

21st-CENTURY JOBS: TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR A DIGITAL AGE
As automation, digitization, and advances in AI continue to disrupt the way we work, the skills needed to succeed in this new era are in short supply, creating a new global battle for talent. It’s more vital than ever for companies to invest in “upskilling” existing employees. With what toolkits do we arm current workers so they can compete and flourish in this new terrain? How can companies train future talent and build skills through real-world experience? What can leaders do to ensure that underserved demographics get the skills needed to create long-lasting careers?

A new operation led by GMP’s Economic Crime Unit has driven down fraud locally in Stockport and Trafford.
A fraud protection hub was created as a pilot operation in Stockport in January 2024. We placed a fraud protection officer specifically in the Stockport area, they were supported by five fraud volunteers. The volunteers are all members of the local community, they know the area well and want to make a real difference.
Following the success of the pilot operation in the initial three months, the hub was expanded to cover the Trafford area in March 2024.
Since the start of the operation, financial losses on volume fraud in Stockport has fallen by 42% when compared to figures from the year before, with a 27% decrease in victim numbers.
Since the introduction of the operation in Trafford, financial losses on volume fraud have reduced by 74% with a decrease in victim numbers of 21%.
The Economic Crime Unit staff and volunteers have worked alongside local neighbourhood officers and Police Community Support Officers in order to educate local residents about the different types of fraud and cybercrime that are prevalent at the moment.
To do this, we conducted two events per week in locations such as libraries and community centres to ensure we are as accessible as we can be, where we have given relevant fraud and cybercrime advice to a wide range of people from different ages targeting anybody and everybody about the risk of fraud.
We have also held crime clinics for our police officers to assist with advice around ongoing fraud investigations to upskill our staff and educate them on how to deal with reports of fraud, with an importance placed on building strong relationships with partners in the community.
Our operation has also seen us work with Stockport council, Age UK and a number of local banks, where we have held regular community stalls with a staff member or volunteer from the unit providing crime prevention advice ensuring we are targeting as many people as possible.
Alongside providing prevention advice to reduce the chance of people becoming a victim, we are also working closely with those who have unfortunately already become a victim of fraud to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
To do this, every victim of fraud has personally been provided with tailored prevention and protection advice. The team are working proactively to provide additional security devices for victims of doorstep crime and telephone-enabled crime by fitting devices in their homes to protect them from nuisance and scam callers.
Detective Sergeant Stacey Shannon, of GMP’s Economic Crime Unit, said: “By creating community-based fraud hubs, our staff and volunteers can work alongside local neighbourhood officers and PCSOs.
"We are out doing all we can to protect our community from fraud, it is a devastating crime that involves some of the most vulnerable members of our society getting defrauded out of thousands and even tens of thousands of pounds worth of their hard-earned money which is going straight into fraudster’s pockets.
“We are using a multi-agency approach, and we can see that we can't do this alone, we need the input and expertise from our partner agencies in our communities to ensure we are tackling economic crime head on, putting a real emphasis on prevention but also ensuring we are assisting those who have unfortunately already been a victim.
“We are asking people to spot the signs when it comes to fraud – one of the main signs is that you may be suspicious or contacted out of the blue by a company that you have not contacted or spoken to before. They may ask you for personal details or to make a payment and you do not know what it is for.
“Fraudsters usually deploy tactics to create a sense of urgency to make the victim respond quickly. They create a sense of panic, and we encourage people to take 5 to stop and take some time to think about why you are parting with your money and if it feels suspicious. Challenge, ask yourself if this request could be fake, criminals will try to rush you and finally, protect yourself by contacting your bank to report any suspicions.
“If you believe you have been a victim of this type of crime, please report this to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk.”

Karla Bradley, General Manager Horticulture at Kono
Kono (meaning food basket) is the commercial arm of Wakatū Incorporation, which represents the 4,000 descendants of the customary Māori landowners in Whakatū, Motueka and Mōhua. Our taonga (treasures) include apples, pears, kiwi fruit, hops, mussels and wine. We want to be spray-free and zero waste by 2040, and we have a transition plan to achieve both.
I started working here alongside my sister ten years ago and fell in love with the place. I discovered our family name on the list of descendants and realised my connection here. So, I am one of the shareholders and I run the horticultural operation. We’re a family business, just a really big one.
A big driver for us is getting our people back to the whenua (the land) and we have a māra (garden) where we are planting indigenous crops from seeds people give us. So far we’ve grown kūmara (sweet potato), taewa (like a small potato) and kamokamo (which tastes a bit like courgette but looks more like a pumpkin) among other crops. We are exploring different distribution models for kai (food), whānau (family) and community, while also thinking about opportunities for the Kono business.
Success for us is bringing family to work. My son Darcy is eight months old and comes to work with me most days, sleeping in a cot in my office. Staff retention through being a preferred supplier helps our bottom line, so we invest in upskilling our people. Re-gen isn’t just about the environment and the soil, the health of our people is just as important.
