Jamie Mackay remembers Norm Hewitt:

Jamie pays tribute to his old mate, former All Black Norm Hewitt, who passed away yesterday, aged 55, from motor neurone disease.

Grant McCallum and Jeremy Rookes:

The gloves come off with today’s former farmer panel as we debate farming, footy and climate change denial.
