Don't worry Hanabal, you kiwis were positively rebellious with the whole 1985 Nuclear Ships ANZUS Treaty dealbreaker. Australian PM Johnny Howard is Bushlicker extraordinaire and he can't even get a lousy free trade deal.
The Uberhawks in the US probably think the only thing us ANZACS are good for is their precious Pine Gap military base. To use a 'Star Wars' reference (wink, wink), we're like the Ewoks to them - we'll throw a few rocks at the enemy and then put some weird animal on the barbecue.
