New Zealand is nominally a secular country, meaning the government and its ministries do not bind themselves to any particular religion. As a result, state-run schools are legally banned from enforcing one religion on their students - but a loophole in the law means state schools can invite local missionaries onto the premises to conduct religious instruction during classtime. Producer Dan talks to David Hines, spokesperson for the Secular Education Network, a group campaigning to remove the current legal loophole.
