Now over this year, Mrs Garbutt has mentioned the rainbow warrior and how New Zealand rejected having nuclear waste dumped on the land and even went to the point of refusing entry of nuclear ships (warships, submarines from the USA) to enter our waters and harbours.
This angered the US quite a lot and escalated to quite a point where the US thought that NZ were sleeping with the enemy (communists and terrorists) and nearly went to war over it.
David Lange the PM at the time had a huge view on this saying no your not allowed to bring your nuclear waste here and he made numerous famous speeches about this topic.
And tiki tanne a NZ artist has used some of these extracts of his speeches to show his gratitude in his "Dub" music. I Think its a good way to know what happened, so next time Mrs Garbutt talks about it we can say yes we know too.
Plus it talks about (totalatarism)sp which could also be helpful with the handmaids tale :D
