9:34 William Rolleston

Last week Kim Hill talked to Rachel Stewart, the 2016 Canon Media Award Opinion Writer of the Year, who angered Federated Farmers with her concerns about dairying's impact on the environment, and her call for 80 percent of dairy cows to go. This week, Dr William Rolleston, the president of Federated Farmers, argues back with the farmers' case.

10:05 Playing Favourites with Tearepa Kahi

Tearepa Kahi, of Ngāti Paoa and Tainui descent, is a filmmaker best known for his 2013 feature, Mt Zion.  Poi E: The Story of Our Song is his new documentary and in it he tells how Dalvanius Prime co-wrote 'Poi E' with Ngoingoi Pēwhairangi and persuaded the Patea Maori Club to perform it - the song topped the NZ charts and was the country's biggest-selling single in 1984.

NZ International Film Festival today announced the World Premiere screening of Poi E: The Story of Our Song at the Civic Theatre in Auckland on 14 July. The film has also been confirmed for NZIFF Opening Night in Wellington on Friday 22 July, Christchurch on Thursday 28 July and Dunedin on Thursday 4 August.
