Ardern says NZ's no-nuclear line on AUKUS subs met with 'understanding'
In case you missed it, the New Zealand PM has reaffirmed her country's long-standing policy of not allowing nuclear-powered vessels in its waters, saying the rule was well understood in Australia. Asked by 7.30 host Sarah Ferguson if there were "any circumstances" in which an Australian nuclear-propelled submarine might dock in a New Zealand port in the future, Ms Ardern said the policy was set.
"But, actually, you know, I've only ever encountered understanding and appreciation of that position," she said. "We've taken a strong, principled position and we'll continue to do so. That doesn't change the relationship we have with Australia or their understanding of our position."
