Misery guts politician

Written by 

Winston Peters' office loves to bag the dairy industry and Fonterra, mostly for all the wrong reasons.

Last week, three days before the GDT auction, the party issued a statement predicting the GDT price index would drop 10%; it dropped by 7%.

We wonder what Peters' crowd is trying to do, but we're certain that inaccurate predictions about GDT and heaping more misery on farmers are helping no one.
