Written by  Milking It

OPINION: National MP and senior whip Barbara Kuriger owes the dairy industry an explanation.

A former Dairy Woman of the Year and DairyNZ board member, Kuriger must tell us how much she knew about the animal welfare abuses on a family-owned farm.

Dairy industry leaders need to lead by example.
