Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Regional Development Minister Shane Jones to talk about fixing $4 billion worth of potholes, which he describes as a “threat to life and limb”.
On with the show:
Shane Jones:
The self-described Princeof the Provinces and Jamie Mackay-described “Minister of Digging it Up and Damming it Up” reflects, 56 years on, on the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, mining our way out of an economic hole, and fixing $4 billion of potholes. Plus, he takes a potshot at Lucy Lawless and the Greens.
We catch up with a Fonterra Director, and large-scale South Canterbury dairy farmer, in Ireland, where she’s been looking at the future of animal protein and watching a bit of footy.
Jen Corkran:
The co-author of Rabobank’s latest Global Beef Quarterly Q2 Report says weaker world beef production is good news for New Zealand farmers. However, the story for lamb is not quite as positive.
