This month Steve spoke to Simon Bridges, National MP for Tauranga.
He is the former leader of the opposition and has been quite outspoken about crime in New Zealand lately, and the police's response to crime.
We spoke about crime as well as a number of other topics. This includes his rise in politics at the same time as Jacinda Ardern, his treatment by the media as leader of the opposition, National's recent struggles and about our identity as New Zealanders.
You can find his book, National Identity: Confessions of an Outsider at any good bookstore in NZ, or online at: www.paperplus.co.nz/shop/books/non-fiction/biography-memoir/national-identity
