More on In and Out people = a short history of New Zealand [race relations] nzherald.co.nz Too obscure without local knowledge, but you'll get the gist [if you can be bothered]. He's quite a funny writer [depending on what's amusing to you]. Aotearoa = New Zealand [Maori name], pronounced Outer Roa.
