3. Uranium on Your Breath

In a tense and divided cold war world, David Lange emerges as an anti-nuclear champion, despite being out of contact, deep in the Pacific when the crisis strikes. The Americans are furious: didn’t the NZ PM pledge to smooth the waters in Labour to allow a US ship visit? They become even angrier when he takes the stage at the Oxford Union, to global acclaim. When an act of state terrorism sees a Greenpeace ship sunk and a photographer killed in Auckland harbour, the public mood on nukes only solidifies.
New and exclusive interviews with Geoffrey Palmer, former US assistant secretary of state Richard Armitage, Fran Wilde, Richard Prebble and Margaret Wilson.

Was living in Italy at the time and never been prouder to be a New Zealander. Epic speech that l replay occasionally just for the Uranium reference. Lange at his finest! RIP Fernando.

Remembering being proud as a teenager then of our great orator and leader whilst also protesting the introduction of GST as an unfair tax that placed the tax burden more squarely on the low income peoples of New Zealand. So much has gone tits up IMHO by the flacid 'leaders' who people our halls of government and councils now. And dont get me started on world politics and the rise of facism.
