After a winter of discontent, The Elephant asks the question everyone’s thinking... is New Zealand broken? Prices have soared, unemployment’s at a five-year high, and even with falling house prices, home ownership feels further away than ever. So what’s really driving the national mood, and what would it take to turn things around? 

Joining Miriama Kamo and Mark Crysell to unpack the issues are scientist Michael Bunce, economist Shamubeel Eaqub, community advocate Dave Letele and Psychologist Jacqui Maguire.
