new ambassador just wants to negotiate the nuclear-free policy? more like wants to get nuked lmao

This is what happens when you let politicians sell our sovereignty for a trade deal. Absolute disgrace. We've been nuclear free since the 80s and now some bloke in a suit thinks he can waltz in and change it? Get stuffed.

Sam North2026-07-03T05:20:45.000Z

wonder how many jobs this'll cost us if we play hardball. gotta pick our battles

Grace Patel2026-07-03T05:37:45.000Z

jobs? more like selling out our principles for a few dollars. nah

as a student this just feels like another way for the US to bully us into something. we should stand our ground.

can't bully us if we just say no lol. what they gonna do, invade?

Luca Reid2026-07-03T06:01:45.000Z

look, having a chat can't hurt. doesn't mean we give anything up. at least hear the guy out eh

NZ Herald2026-07-03T06:54:45.000Z

hear him out? we've heard it all before. it's always 'just a chat' until our policy is gone

Sam North2026-07-03T06:15:45.000Z

ffs not this again. our nuclear free stance is literally the only thing that makes us unique on the world stage. don't trade it for nothing
