OK, it won't happen overnight. Even the current government wouldn't be that stupid as it would engender scenes like this.

No, it will happen over a period of time with incremental changes being disguised by discussions of economic improvements in our relationship with USA and 'partnership' programmes that are 'beneficial' to both countries .....blah, blah, blah.
USA Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is visiting New Zealand at present at the invitation of John Key's government. Significant? Yes, very much so. We haven't had such a visit for 30 years so why now?
The recent Pacific Island's Forum saw Secretary of State Hillary Clinton turn up. Significant? Yes, very much so. The USA had kind of shelved the Pacific for many years but now that China is 'snooping around' the USA is making 'friendly' visits, just to keep in touch you know.
Well I'm all for building a better future for New Zealand and our Pacific Island partners but don't see a good one that is brokered by this guy.

How's the head?
Are we feeling a little bitter this morning?
Heads fine
Just watched morning TV with an interview with the American Secretary of Warmongering so I guess I was influenced.
No bitter though.
