New Zealand Party Abandons Plan to End Nuclear Ban
New Zealand’s main opposition political party said today that it has abandoned plans to end a ban on nuclear ships visiting the country if it wins the next round of national elections, according to the Associated Press (see GSN, May 7).
National Party leader Don Brash said that there was little public support for ending the ban, which prevents nuclear-armed or nuclear-powered vessels from entering New Zealand.
“There will be no change to the law on banning nuclear weapons and nuclear-propelled ships without a referendum,” Brash said (Associated Press, Jan. 22).
