12:15 Rod Donald

The Black Caps are booked for a test series in Zimbabwe but the Green Party believe they should stay home because Robert Mugabe is such a bad old codger. The PM has said she wouldn’t be seen dead in Zimbabwe but it’s up to the cricketers to decide for themselves. Is it time for politics to be brought back into sport or is this all a storm in a teacup as it’s not 1981 and cricket is not rugby. We talk to Rod Donald about why he thinks the nation’s first XI should stay at home.

12:45 Peter Dunne

The United Future leader has been asking about New Zealand’s drug purchasing agency Pharmac. During Question Time he challenged the agency to justify its 'obsessive focus on cost-cutting' in preference to helping individual needs of New Zealanders. Health support groups, such as Diabetes NZ, have come out against the government’s drug buying policy. We ask Peter Dunne what is wrong with Pharmac and what remedy would he suggest.
