The country's worst-kept secret is out as the head of Spark Sport admits that not all of rural New Zealand will be able to watch the Rugby World Cup live.

Anna Yates:

We talk to one of the participants in Rabobank's inaugural FoodX programme which this week sees 30 year 12 and 13 students from a dozen different urban Canterbury high schools having a look at the opportunities around a career path in food production supply chain (aka agriculture).

Winston Peters:

We try to nail jelly to the wall as the Deputy PM ducks and dives over CGT, staunchly defends the PGF and puts the boot into the current MP for Tauranga.

James Shaw:

We ask the Green Party co-leader if he's a "beaten man" after the Winston's CGT slap in the face?
