Kōrero: Kiwis overseas

A returned Kiwi, Dunedin, 1980s

Audio file

Michael Lovell-Smith lived in Australia as a child, and on his return to New Zealand in 1979 continued to support Australia in sports events. Many Kiwi children are born to the hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders living in Australia or the United Kingdom. Families often return to New Zealand, which is seen as a good place to bring up and educate children. Listen to Michael talk about his divided loyalties.
