One Last Question, Prime Minister, RRP $39.99
Barry Soper has spent the best part of five decades reporting from New Zealand’s corridors of power. His working life can be measured in 12 prime ministers: from the larger-than-life characters of Rob Muldoon and David Lange, to the golden age of Helen Clark and John Key, to the post-Covid era of Jacinda Ardern and Christopher Luxon. Soper’s insight and nose for a story is second-to-none. This book reveals the inside scoop from the halls, hotels and side-rooms where New Zealand’s chosen leaders – for better or worse – created their lasting legacy. ‘It’s fair to say Barry knew, and still knows, where all the bones are buried.’ – former prime minister, Sir John Key.
