... that Jeya Wilson invited New Zealand prime minister David Lange to debate the moral indefensibility of nuclear weapons at the Oxford Union?

Source: One of her tasks was to invite high-profile speakers to address the Union. Around this time, New Zealand was making headlines for its refusal to let potentially nuclear-armed American warships into its waters. Somebody joked that she should invite David Lange, the firebrand Prime Minister of New Zealand. She took the joke seriously. “I’d known David Lange before I left (New Zealand),” she says. “We’d met in the anti-apartheid movement.” So she wrote to him, and he agreed to come.

Comment: DrThneed wrote the bio but she's a tad busy, hence she's asked me whether I would like to see this through the DYK process. I'm only too happy to oblige as Jeya Wilson is such a fascinating person. If you have time, I suggest you watch her opening speech at the Oxford Union debate, which is linked from the source above. And if you want to be in for a treat, wach David Lange's speech (second-to-last speaker) – an absolute stunner of a performance. Almost every New Zealander knows one of the lines that he delivered in that speech.

earwig doesn't show any issues; a read-through doesn't show anything obvious in terms of close paraphrasing; article is in a good state; article was only 2 days old when nomindated; hook cited to The Spinoff, which is generally considered reliable; hook is short-ish and interesting; no images; QPQ is done; overall looks good to me!
