Government
Government for its part has been consistent in upholding the Olympic principles of non-discrimination in sport. As a result no racially selected team has been allowed Into New Zealand over the past year. But while Government will not permit racially selected teams to enter New Zealand and flaunt apartheid under our noses, Mr Kirk has made it clear that Government is not prepared to prevent New Zealand teams travelling abroad to compete against South African teams. Government is however firmly opposed to this contact, and invariably communicates its opposition and its concern to the sporting bodies concerned.
