'Embarrassing': Minister Judith Collins considering future of Defence Force planes

Defence Minister Judith Collins says the Government is considering options with the Defence Force planes.

The Prime Minister and his 52-person delegation en route to Japan were stranded in Papua New Guinea after the Defence Force plane blew two fuses.

Chris Luxon's flown commercially to Japan - while Air New Zealand had to divert a flight to pick up the rest of the group in Brisbane.

Collins says the Defence Capability plan will go to Cabinet in the next two months, looking at the point of the planes and who they're for.
