Where Is The Honesty Among Our Representatives?
OPINION: A founding principle of Groundswell NZ is that farmers, and people generally, should be provided with full and accurate information about regulations that directly affect them.
It wants any new law that replaces the dysfunctional RMA to protect environmental bottom lines “in a way that the RMA failed to”, and it wants any new regulation to effectively strangle dairying.
“That means stopping nitrate pollution entering freshwater from milk processing and too many cows,” says the activist group.
Conveniently, Greenpeace again turns a blind eye to the pollution caused by urban dwellers – like sewage water seeping onto beaches around Auckland, and burst pipes spewing raw sewage into Wellington harbour.
Their agenda seems less about a cleaner environment and more about being anti-farmer.
