Foreign Minister Winston Peters sent a blunt message to the Prime Minister as Donald Trump's tariffs continue to spark uncertainty around the world.

Peters indicated Chris Luxon was premature in joining global talks calling for free trade, in opposition to the tariff rollout.

NZ Herald political editor Claire Trevett says Peters expecting Luxon to follow his lead was unusual - but a courtesy call was warranted.

The Civil Contractors New Zealand Cable Price National Excavator Operator Competition officially wrapped up this weekend.

The event took place at Manfeild Park during Central Districts Field Days on March 20-21, where top operators faced off to take home the title.

The competition's chief organiser, Greg Lumsden, revealed what makes someone a successful operator in this context. 

"We've got a massive, big Connect 4 game that the two diggers play - so there's two 13-ton diggers on each side and they play Connect 4."

Fishing host Matt Watson has been quick to voice disapproval with a bill proposing to remove almost all minimum legal-size limits for commercial fishing operators.

The proposed laws would apply to a range of popular fish species, including snapper, trevally, butterfish and tarakihi - and recreational fishers will still have to follow all current minimum size limit rules.

Watson says this won't address destructive fishing methods - and that these terms are 'madness'.

"The notion that - well, these fish are gonna die anyway, we might as well keep them and sell them is ridiculous, because the reason that there is a size limit is because fish have to be able to get to reproductive size to be able to restock the ocean. So instead of addressing - stop catching undersized fish, you're legitimatising it."
