The vice president of Southland Federated Farmers has had enough of the Government's winter grazing regulations and she's urging other farmers to make a stand against this unworkable policy.

Rowland Smith:

In the absence of the Norwood panel, it's off to Hawke's Bay to yarn to another Norwood ambassador and farmer, who also just happens to be arguably the world's best shearer.

Barry Soper:

Our political correspondent ponders the return of carless days, the removal of Covid mandates, the creation of another public holiday and whether Helen Clark and John Key should be going to the Queen's funeral.
