It was a revolution of values. A remnant colony shucked off its deference to empire, opened its economy, liberalised its society and mores and set course towards a self-defining bicultural Aotearoa\/New Zealand. This was an adventure into ‘new territory’. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho drove this revolution? What drove their restless urge for change?
