'I've been able to get through because of the strength of other survivors': Ali Mau's powerful memoir reveals abuse, but also unimaginable strength
06 Apr 2025
I've known Ali Mau for 13 years. We first met when I started working as a producer on Q+A at TVNZ, and she was the host of Fair Go. She took me under her wing, taught me how to do piece-to-cameras, and has been a mentor and dear friend ever since. Like many others, I did not know about the abuse she had suffered as a child until I read her book. It is confronting and brave, and by the end, it hit me in both the gut and the heart. But what it - and this interview with Ali - shows is a strength beyond words. We also explore her career, her passions, and an incredible story about her competing at Horse of the Year. *Warning: this episode discusses sexual abuse
