Close Up: Hillary Clinton in New Zealand

She swept into the country and declared our relationship with the US back on track.

Hillary Clinton has the power to do that, as US Secretary of State, she's number four in the US pecking order - but does she still have designs on the number one job?

John Key jumped the gun a bit when he said that, but are those ambitions still real, and what will the rekindled friendship really mean?

Political Editor Guyon Espiner talks to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

I actually admire New Zealand's resilience and in keeping to their ideals when they denied the US the right to dock their nuclear powered submarines in NZ ports. Frankly I can't help but think the Americans would too. They probably took it as a nice drink of water to have a country go up against them without also wanting to murder them. But there's no reason a good Pacific partnership can't prevail, most of the perceived tension was just spin and whim of armchair diplomats in the Reagan era.

Wake up NZ!

This woman's visit has massive implications for NZ. She comes here, and a couple of months later war breaks out in Tunisia, Egypt and of course Libya, and what does that moron *John Key* do? He puts sanctions on Libya by denying 300 Libyan students entry into NZ...Sanctions? I think we mean bullying! Clinton must be jumping with glee. She was going to leave in 2012 & when they decided to rape Libya she opted to stay on! NZ needs to distance itself from this parasite and her ilk.
