Television New Zealand's hour-long weekly current affairs programme presenting mini-documentaries on topical local issues.

  • 1Which Works Works? A consultant reports that New Zealand has too many meat works and that many of those in existence are inefficient meat works. He recommends closing 40% of the works, and bring the rest up to scratch with 1980s technology. But what impact would this have on the communities that rely heavily on the meat industry, and the meat industry itself. A report from Southland, where two local meat companies and four freezing works are trying to find a viable path to the future.
