The clocks in New Zealand were turned back an hour overnight -- either to your delight or absolute chagrin, depending on which side of the fence you sit on. Federated Farmers Dairy Chair Chris Lewis certainly knows where he stands on the issue. He'd like to see New Zealand ditch Daylight Saving, which in its modern form was introduced by New Zealand entomologist George Hudson, altogether and plump for permanent summertime hours. He joins the show to explain why farmers, in particular, are against the clock changes that Kiwis are forced to endure at this time of the year.
