When the Taliban were at the height of their power in , Abbas was 7 years old. By the time he arrived in New Zealand as a refugee almost a year later, he was 8. What happened in between is nothing short of incredible. The fact the Nazari family survived the journey was one thing. But they have done much better than that- they have thrived! Abbas shares his memories of escaping the Taliban as a little boy with little more than the clothes on his back, being adrift in the middle of the Indian ocean in an overcrowded rickety wooden boat that was most definitely not sea-worthy, in fact it was literally falling apart.
Then getting rescued by a big shipping boat called the Tampa and becoming part of an international standoff before finding home in NZ as a refuge. He also got a degree, was awarded a scholarship in Washington DC and now runs his own business. Myself and pretty much everyone I know has the exact same KiwiSaver experience.

The Dom Harvey Podcast. Head to generatekiwisaver. More episodes View all episodes. Michael Galvin aka Dr. If you say the name Dr. Chris Warner, I think 9 out of 10 New Zealanders would probably know exactly who you are talking about! The Shortland Street character, played by Michael Galvin, has been a core cast member in the New Zealand hospital drama for over 30 years. He was on episode 1 of the show back in and he is still seeing patients at the fictional Ferndale clinic now.
It is hard to imagine Shortland Street without Chris Warner. This podcast is a small part of the Michael Galvin story. We talk Shortland Street- then and now- including the ferocious criticism the show received when it first launched. Michaels personal journey with mental health, anxiety and depression, including a panic attack while filming one day. And the role meditation plays in his life now. His pride in the relationship he has with his daughter and his thoughts on becoming an empty nester.
