Answer

The Ministry of Defence had none. The New Zealand Defence Force recorded four cases in 2018, 12 cases in 2019, four cases in 2020, six cases in 2021, five cases in 2022, five cases in 2023, seven cases in 2024, six cases in 2025, and one case in 2026. The New Zealand Defence Force does not hold centrally recorded data for the years prior to 2018.
