[edit] Waring did not bring down the New Zealand Government.

I have removed this sentence:

"Her action brought down the government, and led to the next administration making New Zealand the first country to ban nuclear ships from its harbours."

She contributed to the declaration of a snap election by the National Government, but if you look at The General Election of 1984 the claim that Waring brought that government down all by herself is patently false.

I also don't see how you can argue that Waring had any influence on the policy and legislation of the incoming Government, let alone caused it as the sentence implies.
