What does being a New Zealander mean to you?

From Nights, 9:25 pm on 13 August 2025

Is New Zealand something that inspires pride? Shame? Is it something you identify with - or not so much?

These questions are the subject of a new book, Arohanui: My Aotearoa New Zealand, bringing together the perspectives of one hundred New Zealanders, including Sam Neill, Beauden Barrett, Miriama Kamo, and Winston Peters.

The book is published by Upstart Press. Kevin Chapman, the editor of Upstart Press, joins Mark Leishman.
