The NZALPA statement is excellent. I fully endorse it. But it still doesn’t indicate that they are a power player and have the Government by the balls, neither back then or now.
Knowing how the machine of government works, I still don’t trust the reason behind Ardern’s public statement. I still suspect that there are some damning Government documents on file that may be released as this is the 40th year since the accident, and those documents might not reflect kindly upon actions the Government were involved in back in 79. Hence her coming forward to eat a **** sandwich that was buttered decades ago. A bunch of Government documents have coincidentally recently been released after 40 years under lock and key. That would be a more plausible reason for her statement. Just saying....
