1981 Revisited

By / 13 July 2010

Green Party Podcast

The 1981 Springbok Tour and the protests against it were seminal events in New Zealand’s history. 30 years on, some of the players from the 81 Springboks are planning a reunion in New Zealand next year.

Several Green MPs were deeply involved with the protest movement against the Tour in 1981, especially Kevin Hague, Catherine Delahunty, and Keith Locke. In this podcast they speak about their experiences of the tour and their thoughts about the planned Springbok reunion.

We also hear from Kennedy Graham, who was opposed to the tour but constrained from protesting in 1981 by his role as a diplomat – and Gareth Hughes, who was born in 1981 and has grown up in an Aotearoa shaped by those life-changing events.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
