From Muldoon to Luxon, untold stories from the House of Parliament

Barry Soper has spent close to five decades questioning New Zealand's prime ministers.

From the imposing, larger-than-life characters of Rob Muldoon and David Lange, to the golden age of Helen Clark and John Key, and the post-Covid era of Jacinda Ardern and the 'Chrises', Soper's insight and nose for a story are second to none.

One Last Question, Prime Minister is the story of a working life measured by 12 prime ministers - packed with entertaining yarns from the hallways, back-rooms, and hotel bars where New Zealand's chosen leaders - for better or worse - created their lasting legacies.
