The meat processing sector is being encouraged to evolve to ensure it captures future demand.

Alliance Group's confirmed Timaru's Smithfield meatworks will shut by the year's end due to declining sheep numbers – cutting up to 600 positions.

BusinessDesk reports rival Silver Fern Farms wants to be constructively involved as Alliance works through a capital raise.

Chief Executive Dan Boulton told Ryan Bridge he doesn't believe this downward trend will continue forever.

“Our sheep, beef and venison farmers deserve to thrive, but to do that, they’re going to need a really strong, efficient, and viable processing sector and that’s going to require investment.”

Dan Boulton: Silver Ferns Farms chief executive says downward trend in meat processing won't continue forever

Couple of stories in the news today, one of them and I'll just read you the first line from this story.

"Ministry of Social Development officials warned their minister that using payment cards as a sanction for beneficiaries can be stigmatising and open to exploitation."

What? So either the poor things will stigmatise them, will tarnish their good reputations or those bludgers that will just exploit the hell out of the cards, which is it?

Are they bad? Are they good?

It just seems a very confused piece of advice from the Ministry for Social Development, in my eyes at least.

They're going to flog them off these cards on Facebook, sell them, or are we tarnishing their good reputations by giving them to them in the first place?

When you design a system, a safety net like this, it should be done for the dignity and the simplicity of those who desperately need it.

I think we can all agree with that.

However, you need to have enough hoops and barriers and checks and balances for those who would exploit the system.

We're good people, we're fair minded people us Kiwis, but there are dicks among us who rip systems off, who don't look after their kids, who don't use the money for the purpose of feeding their families, et cetera.

Those people do exist and treating them with free cash and no consequences is not going to change that situation.

Surely not.

Why would you change when everything is just handed to you on a silver platter and whether that's cash or whether it's a card, you're not going to solve that problem.

It is a balancing act, but you have to design a system that is there for people who need it, but also can't be exploited by those who would seek to do so.

Ryan Bridge: Confused advice from the Ministry for Social Development

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/d887edfb-06d6-4817-80cc-b20f01450a7b/transcript

New Zealand have held their nerve to record one of their best wins in almost 95 years of test cricket.

The loss of their skipper from the second ball of the fifth day didn’t worry the tourists, nor the probing of a fearsome Indian attack buoyed by a frenzied atmosphere in Bengaluru.

Instead, two players with a combined 25 tests’ experience coolly and methodically worked their way towards a 107-run target to secure an eight-wicket victory, the Black Caps’ third from 37 matches in India.

Will Young (48no) and Rachin Ravindra (39no)survived a new ball that was seaming and swinging then negated a deteriorating pitch offering variable turn, seeing off a unit boasting three of the top six-ranked bowlers in the world.

And they did it with barely a scare – one batter in the team only owing to an injury for Kane Williamson and the other playing his first test in the city of his parents’ birth.

It was a victory built on an outstanding initial four sessions, skittling the hosts for 46 before piling on 402 in reply. But India responded by plundering 462in their second innings, setting up a tricky chase exacerbated by the loss of new captain Tom Latham and fellow opener Devon Conway in the first hour.

No matter – Young and Ravindra, putting together an unbeaten partnership of 75 runs from 92 balls, made it appear easy. History suggested that was hardly the case.

This was New Zealand’s first triumph in India since Sir Richard Hadlee took 10-88 – his fifth-best match figures – while leading a 136-run victory at Wankhede in 1988. That win came 19 years after their first in Nagpur, a 167-run success during their third trip to the country.

Now, with two tests to play, the tourists have a chance to avoid a series defeat in India – a feat they have managed twice in 14 attempts.

They are far from alone in their struggles. India have lost four of 48 tests at home in the last 10 years, twice to Australia and twice to England.

This Indian team currently lead the World Test Championship, having won eight of 11 matches in the current cycle, while the Black Caps entered on a four-test losing streak that spurred a captaincy change.

Add in the absence of Williamson alongside the side’s recent struggles offshore – earning only seven test wins away from home in the last decade – and this triumph would be bettered by few since New Zealand played their first test in 1930.

The way the day began emphasised the degree of difficulty in securing such a treasured result.

After surviving a huge shout from Jasprit Bumrah’s third delivery of the innings on the fourth night, Latham was less lucky from an unplayable second ball on the fifth morning.

That ball was moving about in a manner to quicken Kiwi pulses, while a boisterous crowd joined the players in appealing anything close.

The first half-hour disappeared in a blink as the Black Caps crept within 100, Young soon flicking Mohammed Siraj off his pads for the first boundary of the innings from the 48th delivery.

The unflappable right-hander was batting with a level of composure that belied his international inexperience, carving Siraj through backward point before pulling him for a second boundary of the 12th over.

But just when the crowd had been quietened, Bumrah angled one in to beat Conway, clip his back pad and, upon review, send him back to the pavilion.

New Zealand never missed a beat. Ravindra was under way with two boundaries in three balls, having cracked in second test hundred in the first innings and having proven at last year’s ODI World Cup he thrived in the big moment.

After pulling within 50, Kuldeep Yadav was introduced as the second of India’s formidable spin trio. Young ended his first over by coming down the track and flicking him over the fence.

The 31-year-old did escape on 34, when Ravindra Jadeja put down a tough return catch, but that fortune was well deserved. As was the boundary he then cut to collect the winning runs.

Ravindra was under way with two boundaries in three balls, having cracked in second test hundred in the first innings and having proven at last year’s ODI World Cup he thrived in the big moment.

Young ended his first over by coming down the track and flicking him over the fence.

As was the boundary he then cut to collect the winning runs.

The voice of the America's Cup says returning the event to New Zealand shores will deliver more than just sailing.

Previous editions have all been held in Auckland, but Mayor Wayne Brown says the hosting decision is in the hands of Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton.

Brown says he'd welcome it back, but has concerns over its cost.

Sailing commentator Peter Montgomery told Ryan Bridge people aren't aware of its positive flow-on effects, like creating jobs and incomes.

“More than the whole industry, more than just the tourism industry and fans coming to fill hotels rooms or whatever. There’s been a byproduct that’s come out of it that no other sport brings.”
