New Zealanders do not want war ships.... in our Auckland Harbour... or any where near our shores... Our country has an incredibly proud history... of on-water actions against war and nuclear weapons...
Military to be used against NZ peace flotilla
From: Auckland Peace Action
Date: Friday, 30 September 2016
The government has indicated it plans to deploy the NZ military against a peaceful flotilla opposing the entry of warships into Auckland Harbour in November.
“This is a major crackdown on protests. It even bans swimming in parts of the Harbour while these warships are around,” said Auckland Peace Action member Valerie Morse.
The NZ Navy is hosting wargames with a US warship in mid-November in the Hauraki Gulf. Auckland Peace Action is organising a flotilla to demonstrate New Zealanders’ opposition to war and weapons.
