Still writing emails and still no replies. I have my suspicions that the new zealand government is violating its own ground breaking laws.

Its kind of ironic because jacinda ardern said that this government will make climate laws which will be like our nuclear free moment when we stood against the system and denounced nuclear weapons but it has turned out that this governments nuclear moment is the point at which they ignored the laws their predecessors introduced at great cost.

This government has no values just a lust for power and wealth. They are criminals who want to be Lords and Kings. They use the past as a weapon and ignorance as a shield.

This is my letter

Dear Jo

I have written several times but I thought I would try one last time

Does new zealands anti nuclear legislation prevent us from being part of nato even as an observer

From our legislation

https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1987/0086/latest/…

Referring to this section

Prohibitions in relation to nuclear explosive devices and biological weapons

(2) No person, who is a New Zealand citizen or a person ordinarily resident in New Zealand, and who is a servant or agent of the Crown, shall, beyond the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone,—

(b) aid, abet, or procure any person to manufacture, acquire, possess, or have control over any nuclear explosive device.

From the nato website they state

Nuclear weapons are a core component of NATO’s overall capabilities for deterrence and defence

https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50068.htm

Yet from our ministry of defence website there is this comment

We are also a partner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO)

https://www.defence.govt.nz/what-we-do/diplomacy-and-deploym…

Is this not a breach of the law?

NATO states that nuclear weapons are at its core and our defence force states we are a partner of nato. We work with them and help them and if their core is nuclear weapons then are we not aiding, abeting any person to possess, or have control over a nuclear explosive device.

As you are a servant of the people and I am one of those people could you explain to me how we can be partners with nato and no violate our law?

And if we are violating our laws what, as a Labour minister who belongs to the party that put these laws in place, do you intend to do about this?

Cheers
