Willie Duley:

We ask the spokesman for the NZ Tahr Foundation where things are at, seven weeks on from the release of a High Court decision on a judicial review of DoC's tahr plan. We also ask him if Eugenie Sage is still hell-bent on a plan to exterminate all tahr in national parks and sharply reduce tahr populations in other areas.

Barry Soper:

Our political correspondent wraps up another interesting week in politics.
