[edit] Requested move

From WP:RM:

Compulsory Military Training → Compulsory military training in New Zealand – User:Project2501a added the request to the Talk page but not here. The article currently deals exclusively with CMT in New Zealand. --Moritz 9 July 2005 13:40 (UTC)

As the move could be made by anyone with an account and it did not seem contriversial to me I made the move and fixed most of the links. I have left CMT link to "Compulsory Military Training" as in the future "Compulsory Military Training" might might cease to be a redirect to "Compulsory military training in New Zealand" and become an general article it's own right.

Moved Compulsory military training in New Zealand, to Compulsory Military Training (in New Zealand)) Brian New Zealand 05:56, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Shall we just move it to Conscription in New Zealand for standardisation? Skinnyweed 18:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I say no, on the grounds that this article is focesed on the CMT entire history, not Conscription, which only took place in WWI & WWII. Brian | (Talk) 23:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maori and CMT (Conscription)

Could some one add, info about how Conscription (and CMT) was applied to the Maoris during WWI and WWII, I remember hearing somewhere, that Conscription was applied more harshly to the Waikato Iwi, that other Iwi. Is this correct?

[edit] WW2

This article's unclear describing when CMT was stopped between 1939 and 1949. Did it end when WW2 ended or was it a different date? Greentubing 07:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I belive it ran until 1958 when it was replaced by the ballot system (which was abolished in 1972). In 1949 a referendum was held to see if it should be kepted or abolished, it was voted to keep it. Brian | (Talk) 09:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1970 or 1972

How do we reconsile this?:

"...which operated between 1960 and 1972. In 1970 the Government announced the decision ..."--Snori 04:20, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
