REX Nov 3 - Colin Hurst, Donald Shepherd and Tim Black

 

On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Federated Farmers President Colin Hurst about its 'Voter Guide' ahead of the General Election, the purpose of it and the major issues it focuses on, from tax and RMA reform right through to water storage and local government reform... He talks with Donald Shepherd, co-founder of WITHWILD, about the wild venison recovery it undertakes as part of the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation's deer management programme. They discuss how the venison is introduced into the food chain, how the proceeds help support conservation work in Fiordland and the venison featuring in BurgerFuel's Wild & Wagyu burger, which is available from today (Nov 3)... And he talks with Tim Black, former horse trainer and owner of Hector Black's Lounge Bar in Timaru, about being in Melbourne for today's Melbourne Cup, his expert picks for the race and the atmosphere in the city as people make their way to Flemington.
