40 years ago, the reforms of Rogernomics blindsided many
businesses in South Otago as the New Zealand economy transitioned
from one where local businesses were protected to one where 'the
free market' decided who were the winners and the losers.
Shamubeel finds that sometimes the losers and the winners in
Balclutha are exactly the same people - but he also discovers a
growing conflict between local government and central government.

In this episode, Shamubeel talks to:

Steve Hill - CEO of South Otago District Council

Dr Branko Sijnja - Balclutha general practitioner

Rebecca Coote - manager at Finegand freezing works

Bill Keith - survivor of Rogernomics and engineering business
owner

Hamish Keith - engineering company owner

Mike Hurring - Balclutha entrepreneur

Jock Martin - mayor of Clutha District
