Damian reports widespread power outages across rural New Zealand, highlighting the growing need for reliable backup power systems on farms. The discussion also dives into the history of Labor Day in New Zealand and the origins of the 8-hour workday, drawing parallels to America’s Civilian Conservation Corps programs during the 1930s Depression. Together, Trent and Damian examine how sheep farming is losing ground to cattle—mirroring the effects of America’s Taylor Grazing Act—and how Net Zero policies are crippling manufacturing and other vital industries.
