Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Act leader David Seymour to talk about HMNZS Manawanui sinking, banks and the prospect of a capital gains tax.

On with the show:

David Seymour:

What is it about New Zealand and boats? It seems the America’s Cup ones are the only decent ones we’ve got. So we talk boats, banks, Wednesday’s OCR, and the prospect of capital gains tax under the current Coalition Government.

Nigel Woodhead:

We ask the 2017 Young Farmer of the Year how he’s fared with the 2024 floods on his South Otago farm.

Blair McLean:

Our wine man in Blenheim says there are no sour grapes when it comes to handing over the Ranfurly Shield to Taranaki. Plus, he cheers up the farming fraternity with six “fun packs”.

Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:

One of New Zealand’s leading primary sector academics agrees with Shane Jones that it’s “too hard to produce food in New Zealand”.

Phil Duncan:

Monday’s weather guy from WeatherWatch doesn’t see an immediate change in the tempestuous spring conditions.
