What is required is a new approach, an approach that does not imply suppressing differences or requiring any New Zealander to deny their heritage or origins or imposing some sort of common culture but one which involves having a solid foundation and a shared understanding of what it means to be a New Zealander first. Without that secure foundation, our differences, and they are many in our multicultural society, will divide and separate us, rather than enrich us as New Zealanders.
