One Last Question, Prime Minister

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.
