This week's top interviews are:
Gray Baldwin:
As the debate over whether good pastoral land should go to forestry, we talk to a man who spent five years converting forestry plantations to dairy farms.
Jacinda Ardern:
The PM looks forward to opening the 51st Fieldays next Wednesday, she defends the Wellbeing Budget and the performance of some of her under-performing Ministers plus we agree to disagree over the speed limit.
Farmer Tom Martin:
Our UK correspondent talks Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, the Cricket World Cup and a drought to boot!
Michael Every:
Rabobank's Head of Financial Markets Research Asia-Pacific has three words to describe the plight of the global economy and the implications for the NZ Ag sector - ugly, ugly, ugly - saying China and the US are effectively heading for a Cold War.
Simon Bridges:
We ask the Leader of the Opposition if last week's Budget leaks resulted in his best week in the job or was it just a smokes screen for burying National's bad news stories. We also discuss Labour's Cabinet reshuffle and whether the Nanny State will slow down our cars and our economy.
