Here we go, again!

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Another report, and yet another feeble attempt by Greenpeace to blame the dairy sector for all water quality issues in New Zealand.

This time it's a Ministry for Environment report released last week which Greenpeace paints as a 'wake-up call' for the Government.

This activist group seemingly blames dairying for every aspect of environmental degradation.

It puts the sole blame on the dairy industry, calling out Fonterra of course, for the state of all rivers, waterways and drinking water.

Yet it doesn't say a word about urban sewage pollution that we know goes into waterways and makes many of New Zealand rivers and beaches unfit to swim, Auckland and Wellington being two obvious examples.

Farmers are doing their best to reduce nutrient leaching.

The same can't be said about many councils.
