	Description:		Provincial New Zealand is hurting. Alliance Group last week confirmed plans to close its Timaru meat processing plant in Smithfield, with the loss of hundreds of jobs. It comes after earlier this month that Winstone Pulp International said will close two mills near O-hakune, which will see 230 people lose their jobs. To discuss the impact facing small towns in New Zealand, and if there’s a way out from them, today on The Front Page, we are joined by Dr Sean Connelly, senior lecturer at the school of geography at the University of Otago. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
