Micks notes

“She’s right, mate” is one of our all time great kiwi phrases. Embedded in such phrases are lodged certain values that make us who we are, for better or worse. Taruni Falconer, an expert in intercultural relations with the Auckland University of Technology’s Communications Department, has helped identify six such values. She believes these values are what we kiwis are to the core. Test yourself to see if she is on the mark. I will use her labels but flesh them out myself.
