The former All Blacks captain is a Captain of Industry these days. We talked about Southern Pastures, Lewis Road Creamery's premium butter offering and his re-election to the board of the QEII National Trust.
Jacinda Ardern:

Michael Harvey:

Christopher Luxon:
We asked the National Party Leader (in Levin) what he would have done differently if it was him standing at the Pulpit of Truth this week? Plus, we looked at the cost of living crisis and, with Simon Bridges gone, were the liberals taking over the Nats?
