Systematic injustice isn't exclusive to one country, it's everywhere. And you know damn well that it goes on in our backyard too. Nickson was listening to talk back radio, which is a notoriously monolithic genre of our industry, and he was shocked to hear how far Aotearoa has to go in our battle against these systems of oppression.
