Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with independent economist Cameron Bagrie, to get his opinion on a capital gains tax.

On with the show:

Cameron Bagrie:

We ask an independent economist whether the OCR will drop by 25 or 50 basis points tomorrow. We also discuss the exchange rate and why he reckons a capital gains tax is a good idea.

John McOviney:

The chief executive of Steelfort is also a Waitomo sheep and beef farmer. And his farm has certainly been in the news with the sighting of the Marakopa fugitive Tom Phillips and his three children.

Karen Morrish:

The chief executive of Apples and Pears NZ comments on the good prospects for the pip fruit industry.

Vanessa Winning:

The chief executive of Irrigation NZ expands on the fast-tracking of the Ruataniwha Dam project. But are there other dams on the fast-track list?

Bryce McKenzie:

We catch up with one of the co-founders of Groundswell - just back from Sri Lanka and the Senior World Cup of Indoor Cricket - and ask what he was doing dodging the hard yards during the floods on his West Otago farm. Plus, we talk about the animal activists hounding flood-affected farmers. (Part two tomorrow)
