About this listen
The worst kind of villain in New Zealand history was... an Auckland property speculator.
In this week's episode, we learn about the worst kind of villain in New Zealand history... an Auckland property speculator.
Historian and author Vincent O'Malley tells the story of Thomas Russell and his victims, both Māori and Pakeha.

Chief among this cabal was Russell, the founder of BNZ and many other important Auckland businesses.
