Bloody brilliant! One of the two boils on Papatuanuku's skin has been popped by 3 very courageous and ethical activists. Everybody please send donations to their account ( on ploughshares.org.nz website) - they are going to need support. In NZ we have thousands of children who live in poverty while millions of our taxpayers money is spent on a secret unaccountable instrument of the US torture empire. It's great that this issue is raised in election year by this potent symbolic act of protest. Are we a sovereign nation ? Obviously not. And how sad that Helen Clark, once long ago an anti-nuclear protestor herself, describes it as a "senseless act of criminal vandalism". I say it was an imaginative and courageous act of symbolic protest. And the drooping skin revealing the satellite dish inside - a modern equivalent of "the emperor has no clothes".
