We start this episode at a time before the Brits arrived, and see what conflict resolution looked like and how the community was involved. When the Brits arrived, they refused to follow local iwi law, so instead brought their own dispute-resolution system from home. Robbie looks at New Zealand's court systems, the purpose for each one, what happens if you need to go to court, and the options New Zealand citizens have.

The Citizen's Handbook is a 10-part video and podcast comedy series and civics class for all New Zealanders, created by the award-winning team behind the popular satirical web show White Man Behind a Desk.

The series covers five topics: history, politics, law, economics, and international relations. In writing and producing the series, the creators (Robbie Nicol and Finnius Teppett) have teamed up with relevant experts and a writers' room built on a partnership between Māori and Pākehā to ensure that all information is culturally and historically accurate.

Using thorough research and sharp comedy, The Citizen's Handbook empowers its audience with the knowledge of how this country came to be, how it currently works, and how we can face the challenges that lie ahead.

The Citizen's Handbook puts the focus onto the actions of people, and by highlighting the power of human action in creating the present, demonstrates your actions can have a powerful impact on the future.

It’s also really funny.
