History with Dr Grant Morris

From Afternoons, 3:20 pm on 7 July 2022

Today historian Dr Grant Morris looks at the history of the US Supreme Court's influence on NZ. The US Supreme Court has been in the NZ news for overturning the Roe v Wade decision. This has a big impact on the United States but why are New Zealanders so concerned about a decision made in a court in another country?  Today we will discuss the impact on the US Supreme Court on NZ throughout our history.
