About this Quote

This quote by Jenny Shipley, the previous Prime Minister of New Zealand, is describing the government's decision to change the Royal New Zealand Navy's aging fleet of frigates. The government's position is that the frigates have an useful life up until 2006, and that there is no requirement to make a final decision on their replacement until 2002. This suggests that the government is taking a careful method to the decision, enabling more time to consider the choices and make the very best decision for the country. It likewise suggests that the federal government is confident that the frigates will remain in service until 2006, which they will not require to be changed any faster. This quote highlights the value of mindful decision-making and preparation when it comes to major government choices.
