Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Newstalk ZB’s senior political correspondent Barry Soper for his thoughts on Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s leadership.

On with the show:

Wayne Langford:

The president of Federated Farmers is none too pleased with “Fair for Farmers”, which advocates for “one standard for all”, arguing that importing cheaper, less ethical products undermines local farmers who face higher compliance costs.

But who is behind this campaign?

Hamish McKay and Todd Charteris:

We head to Colyton School for the winner of the Rabobank Good Deeds promo.

We find out how it’s going with The Country’s stand-in host and the chief executive of Rabobank.

Chris Brandolino:

We catch up with Earth Sciences NZ’s principal scientist aka, “Friday’s weatherman”.

He says a change is in the wind.

Stu Duncan and Stu Loe:

Today’s panel talks farming, fuel, fertiliser and footy.

Barry Soper:

Is the Luxon leadership debacle a storm in a teacup? And if not Luxon, then who?

We ask Newstalk ZB’s senior political correspondent for his thoughts.
