We Need To Talk About Norman : New Zealand-s Lost Leader

Norman Kirk was Prime Minister for only 90 weeks but in the early 1970s he inspired us by leading a visionary government with a clear moral purpose. His work also defined New Zealand as a progressive small state with a deep internationalism which became central to our national identity. When he died, we lost the man and many believe we lost our way. This book examines the promise of Kirks leadership and suggests it might be time to further explore the social contract that is central to a liberal democratic society.
