When it comes to explaining what's happening with the recent bio-security outbreaks in New Zealand, "a normal person can make sense of things" says Jeremy Rookes of the Two Farmer Js, talking to Jamie Mackay on The Country today.
Rookes praises oysterman Willie Calder and farmer Cara Gregan for explaining the Bonamia and Mycoplasma bovis threats in layman's terms because "you can't get any sense out of an MPI person."
The latest potential bio-security threat in Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden's sights is the Rotorua District Council importing $90,000 worth of mud powder for its Mudtopia festival.
The powder comes from South Korea which at has had past outbreaks of the potentially devastating foot and mouth disease.
Also in today's interview with The Country Jason Uden and Jeremy Rookes discuss Metiria Turei and Dom's treasonous support for the Lions rather than the Crusaders this weekend.
