ACT Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman Ken Shirley today slammed Greens co-leader Rod Donald’s further call for a legislative ban on the Black Caps tour to Zimbabwe.
“It is a fundamental right for New Zealanders to travel free of government interference and Mr Donald’s persistent call for a government imposed ban highlights the command and control thinking of the Greens.
“While polls clearly favour the Black Caps not touring Zimbabwe the choice must remain theirs.
“I am confident that a majority of New Zealanders would say no if asked the direct question ‘should the New Zealand government ban citizens from travelling abroad’,” Mr Shirley said.
