Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Act Party leader David Seymour.

He discusses why his party wants New Zealand to abandon the Paris climate agreement if more realistic emissions targets aren’t introduced.

On with the show:

David Seymour:

“The only party that opposed the Zero Carbon Act is now calling for a better deal from Paris,” says the Act leader as the party released its position statement on climate today.

Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:

One of our leading primary sector academics says, “It’s the margin, Stupid”.

We talk about profitability, supermarket competition and whether Fonterra should be selling its consumer brands business.

Todd Clark:

Our Kentucky-based farming correspondent discusses summer drought, rumours of Trump’s death and the demise of the US economy.

Phil Duncan:

Monday’s weather expert on a Tuesday on the second day of spring, or is it?

Simply put, classic spring weather is kicking in for September with many cold fronts pouncing on New Zealand and southern Australia.

But large highs are also in the mix, bringing settled weather, frost potential, and even some subtropical winds.

Welcome to spring!
