National’s leader joined us live from a Waikato farm visit to talk about technology and science, Easter trading laws and whether the government should loosen covid isolation restrictions.
Chris Russell:
Our Australian correspondent talked about the artery-hardening fare at the Royal Easter Show, which is expected to attract nearly 1 million people this year. He also reports on an extreme El Niño coming to his patch and gender affirmation leave.
Andrew Hoggard:
Hot off the press from Thursday morning’s announcement, the president of Federated Farmers gave his opinion on [the artist formerly known as] Three Waters. Plus, we also picked his brain on He Wake Eke Noa and whether farmers were being too negative about the Government policy.
Don Carson:
We debate forestry slash, planting native trees, future-proofing our road and bridge infrastructure and water reform with a man who’s certainly earning his keep these days - the PR man for the NZ Forest Owners Association.
