Spanning Muldoon to Luxon, Barry Soper has spent the best part of five decades reporting from New Zealand’s corridors of power.

In One Last Question, Prime Minister, he traces covering the 12 prime ministers of his working life and reveals the inside scoop from the halls, hotels and side-rooms where the country’s chosen leaders – for better or worse – created their lasting legacy.

“It’s fair to say Barry knew, and still knows, where all the bones are buried,” said former prime minister Sir John Key.

He sits down with Danyl McLauchlan to look back on a career spent reporting from the heart of the nation’s political life.
