Greenpeace should lose charitable status - Feds
Federated Farmers is arguing for controversial environmentalist group Greenpeace to be stripped of its charitable status.

And probably eager to claim that people involved in the dairy sector support their misguided campaign, Greenpeace roped in a mythical 'Gail'.

Is that the best Greenpeace could muster, someone claiming 'a dairy farm background'!
And just for the record Fonterra farmers are one of the most environmentally efficient in the world.
