It is an understatement to say that France has a bad image in the South Pacific. “Ban the bomb, ban the French!” is commonly scrawled on walls. Canberra dropped its sister city project with Versailles when the October 1985 nuclear tests were announced. For the same reason, the owner of Myers' department store (the Harrod's or Macy's of Melbourne) wrote a strong letter to President Mitterand explaining that he planned to cancel a showing of French products that had been scheduled far in advance. With each nuclear test, pamphleteers, picketers, and banners bearing protest slogans find their way to the offices of the French Air Transport Union in Auckland and Melbourne, to the cultural agencies in Wellington, and to the fancier dress shops and perfumeries in Sydney and other cities. For the year 1985, the Caledonian Tourist Bureau estimated a loss of 23,000 Australian tourists and 7,000 New Zealanders
