About this event

Kia ora hi guys, I am inviting everyone to talk about my book - Aotearoa in the shadow of the empire. It is a work in progress about how the British empire and then the American empire started exerting influence over this country. The questions it raises is, are we actually capable of an independent foreign policy? One of the topic discussed is our non-nuclear stance and adoption of neoliberal policies. As well as our doubling of the defence budget that Pete Hegseth considers "freeloading".
