(Anonymous) 2014-05-03 04:36 am (UTC)(link)Belonging to it, and continuing to do so after 20 years despite the fact that two of the countries had dissolved their formal ties and treaties, is not the same as an alliance. The same is true of them both dealing with NATO.
The fact that both countries avoid using the term 'allies' at all is a more telling fact, despite the recent thawing of relations. Even the new agreement from October of last year isn't technically a treaty. They're presented as such, just without the word, in American media, but not in NZ articles. The only time I can see anyone having used it was this case, which I have copied directly from Wikipedia.
"In July 2008, Condoleezza Rice, the United States Secretary of State, visited New Zealand, which she referred to as "a friend and an ally". The New Zealand Herald reported that the use of the word "ally" was unexpected, as United States officials had avoided it since the ANZUS crisis."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand%E2%80%93United_States_relations)
Until I see proof that both agree they are allies, I am going to continue to go with what I saw with my own eyes at the Te Papa Museum: They are not allies and have not been since the fallout over nuclear vessels in New Zealand waters.
