We catch up with Groundswell co-founder, who’s on a mission to drive his tractor, in the DRIVE 4 CHANGE, on a trek up the country to raise awareness and mobilise voters.  Groundswell co-founders McKenzie and Laurie Paterson will be getting on tractors in Invercargill on 22nd September and driving all the way to Auckland, finishing with a speaking event at the Ellerslie Racecourse at 1 p.m. Sunday, October 1.

Innes Moffat:

The chief executive of Deer Industry New Zealand (DINZ) says venison and velvet are in a pretty good place at the moment, as they look to diversify their markets.

Phil Duncan:

Does Monday’s resident weather expert have another half-decent week in store for us? Does he have a Dad joke for us?
