In 1972, Norman Kirk broke National’s 12-year grip on power and became Labour’s first New Zealand-born Prime Minister. Two years later, our 29th PM was dead at just 51. He had become one of the country’s most-loved leaders. As his body lay in state near the steps of Parliament, a kaumatua cried ‘the mighty totara has fallen.’ This Spotlight collection features classic television interviews, speeches, and current affairs reports about ‘Big Norm.’
