Prime Minister John Key ponders Donald Trump’s victory, lame ducks, dead ducks, a drop in OCR and a spike in the NZ dollar, while Colin Glass, CEO of Dairy Holdings – the largest privately owned dairy farming operation in the land – talks about taking part in the Rabobank Global Farmers Master Class which concluded in Christchurch yesterday. And we catch up with men’s health expert Bernie McKone and Australian correspondent Chris Russell.

It's the whole show in one go! Today the Country ponders a world in which Donald Trump is President of the United States, accompanied by the sound of the Rolling Stones singing You Can't Always Get What You Want.

On with the show: New Zealand Prime Minister John Key talks about Trump's victory, lame ducks, dead ducks, a drop in the OCR and a spike in the NZ dollar.

Then Colin Glass, CEO of Dairy Holdings - the largest privately owned dairy farming operation in the land - talks about taking part in the Rabobank Global Farmers Master Class which concluded in Christchurch yesterday.

We catch up with our men's health expert Bernie McKone to talk Trump, Chicago, hayfever and the big lake they call Gitche Gumee, before Chris Russell, our Australian correspondent, comments on the fallout across the ditch from the shock Trump election victory.
