You're remarkably well-informed Suit! It was Labour of course which dismantled ANZUS by banning US ships from NZ ports unless they were nuclear free and said so, which of course they wouldn't.That cost the RNZAF in a way, because NZ ceased to be an ally, and had to buy spares from Lockheed instead of the USAF/USN, So the cost of operations spiralled upwards.
Looney left is absolutely on the nose.
