- OUR PART OF THE WORLD -

THE WAY WE ARE

Britain is part of Europe. New Zealand is part of Australasia. What does this mean in terms of preserving our own country's identity and individual place in the world?

• Is it time to stop thinking of our country as separate and apart?
• Are we citizens of Europe and the Pacific?
• Are we citizens of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, or even world citizens?

Or
