The Great NZ Road Trip: What's the mood of the nation post-election?

It’s been a rough three years for Kiwis from the south to the north. But as we gear up for the summer, NZ Herald editor at large Shayne Currie is setting out on The Great NZ Road Trip to see if there are any sprouts of optimism around the country.  Over the next two weeks, Shayne will be trading in his beloved V8 to test drive a fully electric VW ID5 as he journeys northwards from Dunedin. Along the way, he’s looking to tell the inspirational stories of everyday New Zealander and the contributions they’re making to society. Shayne Currie is on The Front Page now to share what he hopes to find out in this series. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
