UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne has stated in an interview with Gordon Campbell the question of New Zealand's national identity is his biggest ambition:

Campbell: Is there one thing left that you want to achieve before you leave Parliament ?

Dunne : My personal biggest ambition in whatever time remains to me is the whole question of national identity, constitutional change and the path towards a republic. On the weekend I set out a timetable by which we could, if not get there, at last resolve the issues... by 2017.
