a version of Anchor Me was recorded<\/a> by a variety of well-known Kiwi artists to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the original Rainbow Warrior.<\/p>\nIn 1985, the Rainbow Warrior was bombed by the French Secret Service in retaliation for protests against France\u2019s Pacific nuclear testing programme. The bombing killed Greenpeace photographer, Fernando Pereira.<\/p>\n
The Rainbow Warrior became part of New Zealand\u2019s national identity for the many who still clearly remember the bombing.<\/p>\n
Two years later, New Zealand became the first country in the world to declare itself nuclear free.<\/p>\n
In April this year, New Zealand made international headlines when it became one of the first countries in the world to ban new offshore oil and gas exploration licenses.<\/p>\n
In the lead up to last year\u2019s election, Jacinda Ardern labelled climate change her generation\u2019s “nuclear free moment”.
\nGreenpeace New Zealand Executive Director, Dr Russel Norman, says the Rainbow Warrior makes the link between these two historic movements.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the eighties New Zealand stood up to the world\u2019s nuclear powers, and in doing so we became leaders on the biggest global threat of the time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, we\u2019ve once again become world leaders on the greatest threat of our time. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was right when she called climate change this generation\u2019s nuclear free moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fitting that the Rainbow Warrior has travelled across the world to be here to celebrate our nation’s bold action on climate change – action only made possible by a decade-long movement against oil, hundreds of thousands of people strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Matauri Bay earlier this week, Norman and the crew laid a wreath in remembrance of Fernando Pereira and the sunken Rainbow Warrior, before launching the Making Oil History tour of New Zealand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile laying the wreath and then at a p\u014dwhiri hosted by Ng\u0101ti Kura, we reflected on the success of the nuclear campaign that drove the French Government to such extreme measures, and on the parallels it has with today’s big fight against climate change and the oil companies which drive it,\u201d says Norman.<\/p>\n
The Rainbow Warrior will travel around the country, stopping in centres including Whangaparaoa Bay, Wellington, Kaik\u014dura, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Stewart Island.<\/p>\n
As well as celebrating the oil win, Greenpeace and the Rainbow Warrior crew will be holding events about the need for the Government to back New Zealand\u2019s transition to clean energy.<\/p>\n
