Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, to get his opinion on whether New Zealand should have a Capital Gains Tax.
On with the show:
Christopher Luxon:
The Prime Minister ponders the US election (but not the result), fast-tracking building consents, support for a Capital Gains Tax, private capital for KiwiBank, and why he hasn’t sacked Andrew Bayly.
Jane Smith:
Mackay asks the North Otago farmer and award-winning environmentalist if she’s been smoking something in the tailing pen up on the hills because she’s agreeing with Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick.
Todd Clark:
We ask our Kentucky-based US farming correspondent if a lingering drought for much of his country could spell good news for New Zealand farmers. Plus, one week out from the election, we ask a true-blue Republican to call the result.
Blair “Blocka” Drysdale:
We ask a Southland arable farmer if rice is the only thing he can plant at the moment, as the deep south battles through one of the worst springs in living memory.
