1Prime Minister David Lange's Mangere electorate is a microcosm of the issues confronting South Auckland communities such as low income, rising unemployment and an education system that does not appear to be working for many students. The area is rife with crime, drug abuse and racial tension. Maori and Pacific Islanders appear to be especially affected. A look at how one family's struggle is representative of that faced by so many in this community, followed by a studio interview with their local MP, Prime Minister David Lange and social researcher Patrick Hanly.
