Dear Alex and Alex,

In 1984, New Zealand banned nuclear-powered or armed ships from entering New Zealand waters.

New Zealanders owe our 1987 anti-nuclear legislation to Dr Helen Caldicott. Forty five years ago she resigned her job as an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School to work full time on the prevention of nuclear war. Her writing and speaches have shocked and moved me – more than anyone else’s. Please interview her as soon as possible.

Here is the link to an interview she gave on Radio New Zealand in 2016.

Helen Caldicott – Anti-nuclear warrior

Australian Dr Helen Caldicott has been campaigning for nuclear disarmament for decades and her visit to New Zealand in the early ’80s is often cited as a catalyst for Kiwis adopting the anti-nuclear cause as their own. The Smithsonian Institute has described her as one of the 21st century’s most influential women.
