Meet our battle axe kuia "Aunty"

Meet Aunty - our formidable Maori kuia - the "Voice" of the Z-Nail Gang. 

Aunty is no nonsense both in her quest to stop mining and to find a wahine for her nephew Pai. Played by Vanessa Rare (Shortland Street, Ruby & Rata), Aunty will slap you on one cheek and kiss you on the other.

Vanessa moved the crew to tears on more than one occasion with her powerful performances. Aunty's story is not to be missed!
