Sir Robert comments
PA Wellington The anti-nuclear agreement reached by South Pacific Forum members this week was not significantly different from that achieved in 1976, said the Leader of the Opposition, Sir Robert Muldoon yesterday. Asked what he thought the latest agreement was worth, Sir Robert said, “It is worth what the 1976 one was. It’s a statement of good intentions, but also a statement that no Forum nations will manufacture, store, or use nuclear weapons — and that has been New Zealand’s policy, and the policy of Australia and other South Pacific countries, at least since 1976; as far as we are concerned, earlier than that.”
The 1976 agreement came from a South Pacific Forum meeting at Rotorua.
