Groundswell ramps up ‘Quit Paris’ campaign across New Zealand
Groundswell is ramping up its 'Quit Paris' campaign with signs going up all over the country.
In Waikato, our local journalist reported just a handful of people turning out at one of the protest sites.
The number of tractors and utes converging on town centres as part of the protest was also way down compared to the previous event run by Groundswell.
Various reasons are being thrown around for this lackluster response from farmers and rural dwellers in some areas - from the high fuel prices, to a growing disgust with how some extremists and nutters had hijacked the previous protest.
