Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Act Party leader David Seymour and tries to get a Budget 2025 preview for farmers. Plus, he asks Seymour if he’s looking forward to becoming Deputy Prime Minister shortly.

On with the show:

David Seymour:

We ask the age-old question of the Act leader, and soon-to-be Deputy Prime Minister.

What’s in the Budget for farmers?

Sandra Faulkner and Sandra Matthews:

Today’s farmer panel features “the two Sandys from Gizzy”.

We catch up with the Federated Farmers’ adverse events spokeswoman (Faulkner) and the Rural Women New Zealand president (Matthews).

Matt Chisholm:

We lighten things up a little with a well-known rural mental health advocate, raconteur and hobby farmer.

Phil Duncan:

Monday’s resident weatherman has been missing in action for the past two weeks, and even his mother is wondering what’s happened to him.
