A.E. Thompson: (Oral) History Never Repeats - RNZ's 'NZ Wars' Series

Radio New Zealand collaborated with Great Southern Television and Aotearoa Media Collective to produce, funded by us taxpayers, a number of video productions and associated podcasts for radio called 'NZ Wars'. I heard one recently and was struck by the sarcastic and biased nature of the commentary. Another one that played on RNZ was called 'NZ Wars: Stories of Wairau' so I explored it in detail as follows.

Use of the abbreviation NZ in the title of this series reflects the racism throughout it. Let's not use the white-skinned actual name of our country.
