Nuclear-Free New Zealand
Nuclear free New Zealand history evaluation

To do this project I have had to research, annotate and gather information about the topic that I choose. The topic is Nuclear Free New Zealand, I opted for this topic because I had never studied it before and I was interested on learning more about it.
Gathering the information was quite easy, I think I’ve got plenty of it and it should be enough to cover the entire subject. Annotating the information was quite hard as I was short of ideas and I was quite unsure on how to do it.
My teacher allowed me to go to the library to get some print offs and research some more information.
1) I sort that the evidence I found answered all of the focussing questions. I sort that the source about the sinking of the rainbow warrior on page 6 that I found on the greenpeace website answered the question “How did New Zealand become threatened by nuclear power?”. By showing that the French secret agents blew up a boat in Auckland therefore being a threat to New Zealand. “how did the protests go on, what did they do to protest??” was explained on page 3 on the Mururoa protests that I found on Wikipedia and early protests on page 8, also it should be quite relevant as it talks about anti-nuclear protests by New Zealanders or in New Zealand. “What where the impacts of the protest” is also shown on page 3 where it says “A major change in New Zealand society caused by these pacific campaigns was the upsurge in pro anti-nuclear sentiments in New Zealand and as a consequence, the eventual rise of its anti-nuclear policy in 1987.” I also think that it is quite relevant to the question as it explains all about. Information to that question is also shown on Rainbow warrior after the attack on page 6.
“How was nuclear power causing a threat to New Zealanders?” Is shown on the page about the thinking of the rainbow warrior that I found in wikipedia and on page 1 Historical background.

    In Oakland, California, October 1966, persons Huey Newton and Bobby Seale established The Black Panther Party (BPP). Huey and Bobby met in the early sixties whilst at Meritt Junior College in West Oakland (Wood 1, Rajguru 2, The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense). Both of these men were active in Black politics for several years before they came together to form the Panthers. (same site as previous sentence). The “Black Panther Party for Self Defense” was formed to protect Black individuals and neighborhoods from police brutality (ushistory.org). This party was based off of the Black Power Movement.

    New Zealand began to realise the seriousness of the testing especially after a massive blast at Bikini Atoll and became involved. The first effort to stop the use of nuclear weaponry was the Quaker petition in 1956 which thousands of New Zealander’s signed but was not very effective and did not do much to change the current situation. The first sign of nuclear disarmament came when the great powers had a moratorium due…

    The bombing of the Rainbow Warrior was an historical event in New Zealand that occurred on July 10th 1985 at Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour when French secret service agents planted two bombs on the hull of Greenpeace’s flagship, the Rainbow Warrior which sunk the flagship killing one crew member. It was caused by the French bombing Greenpeace’s flagship because of Greenpeace’s decision to protest against the French testing nuclear weapons in Maurora and by New Zealand’s unpopular position on the nuclear issue. This led to a number of consequences including the death of a fellow crew member, It led to the French government having to pay $13 million compensation and their two agents being arrested. New Zealand did not feel that she received support from other Western countries and eventually New Zealand adapted a nuclear-free policy as well as Greenpeace also gaining a significant increase in its membership base.…
