If you were living in New Zealand in the 80s and you’re old enough to remember when milk was delivered in glass bottles, you’ll probably recall waking up to the news that the anti-nuclear Greenpeace vessel the Rainbow Warrior had been bombed in July of 1985. As the truth came to light that French Secret Service agents were responsible, it was a moment that solidified our stance as an anti-nuclear country. Of course, Liam and Frances weren’t alive when milk was delivered in glass bottles, but The Auckland Heritage Festival is making sure that our history stays alive today. The theme of this year’s Festival, which runs from 23 September - 8 October, is Peace, Love and Protest. It’s an opportunity to learn about and remember the important issues that have caused many Aucklanders to take a stand. To hear about one exhibition telling the story of our anti-nuclear past, Frances caught up with Peaceworker Laurie Ross.
