Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay caught up with Act Party leader David Seymour, to talk about his Treaty Principles Bill.
On with the show:
David Seymour:
The Act Party leader defends his Treaty Principles Bill (which Cabinet will consider this afternoon) following an attack on it by more than 400 church leaders.
Plus, we ponder Labour leader Chris Hipkins’ proposed capital gains tax/wealth tax and this week’s US presidential debate.
Kate Acland:
The chairwoman of Beef + Lamb NZ comments on the New Season Outlook Report which makes sober reading for sheep farmers.
Dan Hodgen:
North Canterbury farmer and chairman of the Hurunui Adverse Events Committee. Today he updates the Big Dry and applauds the recent Farmbreak event - that saw 300 farming folk gather for a feed and a beer to take their minds off the drought plaguing the district.
Bryce McKenzie and Laurie Paterson:
Today’s farmer/Groundswell Panel pay tribute to Steve Cranston and gets stuck into local body councils and emissions taxes. Plus, we ask, is Groundswell now a redundant organisation?
Phil Duncan:
Monday’s resident weatherman says windy westerlies are the order of the week.
