Brendon Hoare:

We talk to the chief executive of Organics Aotearoa New Zealand (OANZ) about the value of the country's organic sector lifting to $600 million in 2017, from $467 million in 2015, and whether organics could be the way forward for NZ agriculture.

Winston Peters:

We ask the Deputy PM if he's the Acting PM yet, why he's not nicer to the media and why did he back Shane Jones instead of Jacinda over his Fonterra comments.
