Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to get his thoughts on the age of eligibility for National Super, a capital gains tax and Kiwisaver.

On with the show:

Christopher Luxon:

The Prime Minister ponders a peace deal in Ukraine, going on a farm tour with Federated Farmers and getting rid of regional councils.

Plus, the Official Cash Rate, KiwiSaver and the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation.

We also ask whether a capital gains tax (CGT) has any political appeal and whether Chlöe Swarbrick is a genuine contender to be the next Minister of Finance.

Wayne Langford:

The President of Federated Farmers previews his farm tour with the Prime Minister and talks about an increasing Feds membership.

He also discusses making a buck at $9.50 and why he’s happy to see the end of regional councils.

Tracy Brown:

DairyNZ’s chairwoman previews the industry body’s return on levy-payer investment, the profitability of dairy farming at $9.50 per kilo of milksolids and why you should always look under the hood.

Hunter McGregor:

Our Shanghai-based correspondent talks temperatures, beef, driving and parking in a city of 30 million people and about making a Chinese man’s day.
