Prominent New Zealand activists discuss the importance and future of protest and dissent
50 years on from the formation of the Halt All Racist Tours movement (HART), join prominent New Zealand activists for a discussion on the importance and future of protest and dissent.
Protest and how it changed New Zealand
The years between 1969 and 1985 irrevocably changed New Zealand and the way we see ourselves and the wider world.
From the 1969 formation of HART to the cancellation of the 1973 tour, the 1976 Montreal Olympic boycott, the 56 days of unprecedented protest against the 1981 Springboks rugby tour to the decision by the New Zealand High Court to grant an injunction stopping the All Blacks from touring South Africa in 1985, New Zealand was at war with itself.
HARTS’s protest and what did it achieve
By 1981, the issue of sporting contact with South Africa, for a long time a litmus test for a wide-ranging set of New Zealand values, had become, sublimely at least, more about New Zealand than South Africa.
As New Zealand moved from being a grey, conservative, post second world-war society to a country with a more bi-cultural approach to domestic race issues and a more liberal, internationalist approach to world issues, what was the role played by HART and other anti-apartheid and anti-racist groups to effecting this change? How powerful was HART’s protest and what did it achieve?
Join us for a dynamic exchange of ideas focussing on the past and present with a view to the future.

Forty years ago on 18 October, Tina Cross, a young singer from South Auckland won the Pacific Song Contest, with ‘Nothing But Dreams’ written by Carl Doy. To celebrate this career-defining moment the pair will perform a concert in Wellington at the National Library on October 18.
At lunchtime on the day of the concert, Tina and Carl will speak with Paul Diamond about their memories of their 1979 win and the impact it had on their careers. There’ll also be an opportunity to see footage from the 1979 contest, and from the 1980 contest, where Tina sang another Carl Doy composition (‘Once Again With You’), a duet with Derek Metzger.
This free session is part of the public programme for the National Library exhibition — Pūkana: moments in Māori performance.
About the speakers
Tina Cross ONZM (Te Aupouri/Ngāti Porou) has been a household name since ‘Nothing But Dreams’ took her into living rooms across the country when the Pacific Song Contest was broadcast live to millions of TV viewers. Turning sixty this year Cross celebrates an incredible 44-year career as a singer and entertainer in the business as one of New Zealand’s timeless leading wāhine as a recording artist, TV darling, musical theatre queen, Lady Killer and anti-domestic violence advocate. Not forgetting also that Cross sang the vocals on the original theme song for our longest running soap — Shortland Street.
Carl Doy ONZM is also an icon in the New Zealand musical scene having recorded over twenty piano albums, starting with Piano by Candlelight in the 1980s, which set records with triple-platinum sales in New Zealand and over one million albums sold in USA. As a producer he has been hugely successful producing double-platinum albums for Yulia, Elizabeth Marvelly, Martin Winch (Espresso Guitar) and Brian Smith (Moonlight Sax). He has also been musical director for such NZ luminaries as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Howard Morrison and Rob Guest.
Paul Diamond (Ngāti Hauā, Te Rarawa and Ngāpuhi) was appointed as Curator, Māori at the Alexander Turnbull Library in 2011. Together with Ariana Tikao and Vicki-Anne Heikell, he curated Pūkana, an exhibition celebrating Māori performance over time. Tina Cross is one of the artists featured in the Ngā Tāngata Mīharo/Performing Careers section of the exhibition.
