- tdrgabi 14y agoActually, if I understand the wikipedia link, the nuclear free zone allows nuclear weapons.
- Negitivefrags 14y ago> prohibiting any New Zealand citizen or resident "to manufacture, acquire, possess, or have any control over any nuclear explosive device."

- genbattle 14y agoNATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation; New Zealand is in the South Pacific. We haven't allowed any naval vessel carrying nuclear material (be it for weapons or power supply) to enter our waters since 1984. It's always been quite a point of contention with the US. It also happens to be a point of pride for the grand majority of Kiwis.
