I hope that Justin is going to talk about the cockiness, racism, arrogance and capacity for hatred inherent to the KIWI WAY(tm) (must be capitalised as that is how the kiwis say it). My condolences to the poor Asians still living in new zealand, and the priviations they go through every day.
Clever video, look forward to reading the book! We are trying to work out why the kiwiana icons like the ones you allude to have so quickly gone from kitsch to retro cool (for instance in the NZ art world). Kiwiana is a pretty flimsy base on which to build our collective national myths and identity.
