Description:

Welcome to another episode of Sarah’s Country. Sarah is joined again by some great guests to talk about the matters that matter most.

Submissions to the Commerce Commission closed on Friday for New Zealanders’ thoughts on the copper withdrawal code as Chorus plans to roll-up the copper lines across the country. TUANZ chief executive Craig Young explains how consumers must have access to an equivalent fibre service first.

Almost $2 million will be spent developing integrated training for shearing and wool handling where skill shortages are dire and covid-19 border restrictions on essential workers are mounting pressure. We will discuss the challenges with Shearing Contractors Association spokesman Mark Barrowcliffe.

Britain is scrambling for trade deals before it leaves the European Union at the end of the year and rarely does NZ enjoy the leverage it has over the UK in talks now under way. We discuss that with the Red Meat Sector’s United Kingdom representative Jeff Grant.

The Government has announced nearly $2 million funding for the King Country River Care Group, which aims to involve 150 farms in the Awakino River, Mokau River and Upper Mangaokewa catchments that cover more than 183,000ha, to plant wetlands and waterways.
