Foreign Correspondent: Sept 19

Foreign Correspondent‘s Emily Clark is in NZ this week to learn about a shift to the right.

Across New Zealand tensions are running high with Māori protestors warning the country is facing a watershed moment on race relations. The protestors are angry with the new agenda of the conservative coalition government which has seen the lightning rollback of Māori programs and policies.

This week on Foreign Correspondent reporter Emily Clark travels to New Zealand to find out why the country that produced the icon of the left – Jacinda Ardern – has shifted firmly to the right and what’s driving the desire to wind back the special status of Māori.
