RIP Nancy - you are still an inspiration to us all and your heroism needs to be recognised by the New Zealand government.

I think it's because most people recognise her as an Australian.

Stuff does seem to be trying pretty hard to classify her as a kiwi but it's difficult when she left at the age of two.

I don't think it actually matters where she was born or grew up.

It does to the media.
