       From geopolitical, defence and economic perspectives, over the coming decade should New Zealand become more formally integrated with its larger neighbour to its north - Australia? #NZPol #auspol

       @HardBeingGreen don't know about ceding national sovereignty - but closer economic & defence alignment for sure.

       @NZedAUS > don't know about ceding national sovereignty - but closer economic & defence alignment for sureCloser Economic Relations was supposed to do that in the Muldoon era, but the Ozzies keep pulling back from bits of it.Ceding sovereignty isn't really an option, since most of it arguably isn't ours to cede. Iwi haven't given it up to the British Empire, or the NZ settler state, and it seems unlikely they'd give it up now.@HardBeingGreen
