Nuclear ship ban supported
Sir, — We believe that there is considerable support among Australians for the recently-elected New Zealand Government’s seeking to prohibit ships carrying nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered ships from entering New Zealand ports. There is cause for concern over the pressure Mr Hayden has been exerting on his Labour comrades across the Tasman to succumb to United States pressure. Despite Mr Hayden’s call for the United States to tread warily in New Zealand after he was roughly dealt with on the same issue in 1982, the experience in no way seems to have altered the Australian Foreign Minister’s determination to side with the United States. The Nuclear Disarmament Party strongly supports our New Zealand friends and the right of their democratically elected Government to fulfil its electoral mandate. — Yours, etc., MICHAEL DENBOROUGH Nuclear Disarmament Party, Canberra. July 19, 1984.
