Today on The Country, host Jamie Mackay is live from Auckland, promoting the show’s collaboration with Heartland Chips and Emerson’s.
Earlier in the day, Mackay spoke to Act Party leader David Seymour on the day the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti reached Wellington.
On with the show:
David Seymour:
It’s a big day for the Act Party leader as the Hīkoi to Parliament hits Wellington.
Will he be addressing the protestors, is his Treaty Principles Bill dead in the water?
Mark de Lautour:
The Hamilton-based chief executive of Open Country Dairy will join us for a beer this afternoon in Auckland — but will we be toasting a $10 milk price?
Paul Paynter:
The son of The Yummy Fruit Company founder John Paynter is also a Hawke’s Bay orchardist. Today we look at the prospects for the 2025 apple harvest, the big dry and his award-winning cider.
Vanessa Winning:
The outgoing chief executive of Irrigation NZ is off to MPI but she’s still very much going to have all hands on the pump when it comes to water.
Phil Duncan:
Monday’s resident weather expert is another Aucklander joining us for a Tuesday beer and potato chips.
Barry Soper:
We kick off the show with the Hīkoi and we wrap with our man in Parliament grounds.

He's called some "inflammatory language".
