Read in the New Zealand Herald : "National leader Don Brash (main opposition party in NZ) tonight outlined his views on policy directions including selling Kiwibank and allowing nuclear-propelled ships to visit New Zealand". I don't know about the first point, although it seems to me it's a shame selling the only national bank left to foreign investors (British or Australian, as usual), but the second is worrying. Until now, NZ has been (probably! and because of their own will not because they don't have the resources) the only country in the world where nuclear energy is NOT used. They are so nuclear free that they don't even allow nuclear-propelled ships to use the country's harbours. Which I think it's logical. If you are keeping your house clean, why should you allow your neighbour to dump rubbish in your garden? But with the opposition leader 'considering' allowing these types of ships to visit NZ...well, one thing leads to another thing...what next? nuclear plants? I just hope ideas like these will make Brash unpopular so he won't win the Newzealanders support at the next elections.


Leo en el New Zealand Herald:" El lider del partido National, Don Brash (la mayoria de la oposicion en NZ) anuncio ayer las directrices a tomar en el futuro en caso de ganar las elecciones : la venta de Kiwibank y la abertura de los puertos neocelandeses a los barcos y submarinos nucleares extranjeros". Mucho no se sobre el primer punto, aunque me parece vergonzoso que uno de los pocos bancos nacionales que quedan en el pais se venda al capital extranjero (britanico o australiano, para variar), pero el segundo punto es realmente preocupante. Hasta ahora, Nueva Zelanda ha sido (probablemente y por voluntad propia, no porque no tengan los recursos) el unico pais completamente libre de energia nuclear. Estan tan concienciados sobre el tema que ni tan solo permiten el amarre en sus puertos de barcos o submarinos nucleares. Lo cual me parece logico. Si tu conservas tu casa limpia, por que tienes que soportar que tu vecino venga y tire basura en tu jardin? Pero si el lider de la oposicion esta 'considerando' el permitir la visita de este tipo de naves en NZ...pues a mi parecer, una cosa lleva a la otra...y que va a venir despues? centrales nucleares? Solo espero que ideas como esta hagan a Brash tan impopular que los neocelandeses no le apoyen en las proximas elecciones.
