	Helen Clark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First elected to the New Zealand House of Representatives in 1981, representing the Mt. Albert electorate, in Auckland, she was one of four women who entered the parliament in that election.
		As Leader of the New Zealand Labour Party, she formed successive minority coalition governments with the Alliance party (1999), which collapsed in 2002 resulting in an early election, and with Jim Anderton's Progressive Party (2002, with parliamentary supply and confidence from United Future and 'good faith' with the Green Party).
		New Zealand has under her leadership pursued a determinedly independent foreign policy, evidenced by the retention of nuclear free status (possibly at the cost of a free trade agreement with the USA) and a refusal to participate in the Iraq invasion without UN sanction.

	Joint Press Conference with the Rt Hon Helen Clark Prime Minister of New Zealand Langham Hotel, New Zealand - 20 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The relationship between Australia and New Zealand is an old one, it’s a close one, it’s an indissoluble one, and it’s one that is contributed to in a very important way by these discussions.
		My job is to enhance relations between New Zealand and Australia, irrespective of who happens to be the Prime Minister of New Zealand and I’ve enjoyed a good working relationship with Helen Clarke, as I did with her predecessors and I think we will leave it at that.
		And both, if I may so, New Zealand and Australia have had very high levels of home ownership and one of the reasons for that is the way in which we have, tax wise, treated the family home, so I think it’s not consonant with the sort of things.

		The Labour prime minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark, told the Guardian that Washington and its allies had created a dangerous precedent by going to war without a UN resolution.
		But New Zealand had taken a different view, because of the danger of setting a precedent for ignoring the UN.
		"It would be very easy for a country like New Zealand to make excuses and think of justifications for what its friends were doing, but we would have to be mindful that we were creating precedents for others also to exit from multilateral decision making," she said.
