Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour on Trump’s 15% tariff and the NCEA shake-up.

On with the show:

David Seymour:

The Deputy Prime Minister comments on what, if anything, we can do about Trump’s 15% tariff.

He also comments on a radical shake-up of the country’s main secondary school qualification, which will see NCEA abolished and replaced with two new qualifications at Years 12 and 13.

Over the weekend, the Irish Times reported that Dawn Meats looked set to stump up with $270 million for a 70% stake in Alliance, which is currently the country’s only fully farmer-owned red meat co-operative.
