Blair "Blocka" Drysdale:
We caught up with one of the stars of last week's Country Calendar episodeand we put to bed rumours of pay-per-view appearances on one of New Zealand's most popular television programmes. He also talked about his pre-show anxiety and why farmers should say yes if they're asked to be on the show.
The Act Party leader launched his Alternative "Real Change" Budget where he planned to boost defence spending and the age of eligibility for National Super while slashing wasteful government spending.

We caught up with the chief executive of Fieldays (which has shifted this year from June to Wednesday, November 30 to Saturday, December 3, 2022) about not braving the chilly winter mornings, thick fog causing flight delays, longer days, better weather, and a good opportunity to do some Christmas shopping!
