About this episode

Wayne Langford of Federated Farmers discusses their new election wishlist and recent achievements with Jack Tame.

Agricultural lobby Federated Farmers have a lot to celebrate in the last parliamentary term. Their 2023 election policy priority list has almost all been picked up by the coalition government, with projects like revised freshwater rules, rethinking forestry incentives in the Emissions Trading Scheme, and scrapping the Labour government's 'ute tax' all achieved in the past three years. Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford joins Q+A to announce the new, 25-point election wishlist, which he says is for any political party willing to work with the group. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
