N-stand linked to election
The success of the local authority nuclear weaponfree zone campaign was an important factor in the election of a Labour Government, according to the secretary of the New Zealand Nuclear-Free Zone Committee, Mr Larry Ross. The Government had pledged to declare New Zealand a nuclear weaponfree zone and ban nuclear warship visits. Just over two million people, or 65 per cent of the
population, lived in 94 locally declared nuclear weapon-free zones in New Zealand, said Mr Ross. Five of those zones were created after the election and other local bodies were considering joining them. Many local body councils had seen that expressing the will of the people and declaring nuclear weapon-free zones could result in policy and Government changes, he said.
