Communities around the country are playing host to a series of anti-co-governance meetings.  

This roadshow is being organised by a man named Julian Batchelor, who has a history of animosity with the Māori community. 

Counter-protests have been arranged at some meetings, with some critics calling the narratives being shared racist.  

So where does the truth lie? And what has motivated a Northland evangelist to take such a strong stand on this issue? 

Today, NZ Herald investigative reporter David Fisher shares with Damien what he’s learned about one man’s crusade against co-governance.
