The Crosbie Report
A current affairs show hosted by Sharon Crosbie.

1Following World War Two, the United States took over from Britain the role of leading the free world in order to forestall the spread of Communism. The Cold War occupying the superpowers has led to jockeying for spheres of influence, especially in the Pacific. New Zealand wanted out of the nuclear part of the equation, drawing attention to itself and incurring the wrath of the Reagan Administration. The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS) has been mothballed, and New Zealand has been informed it is on its own. What does the United States actually want? How does it see its role in the world, and in the Pacific region in particular? What is the Reagan Administration really about? Interview with the Chairman of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Richard Lugar.
