A couple of them caught this old mutt’s eye, not because of their pro-rural stance, but very much the opposite. The first was climate change doomsdayer James Renwick, who spends most of his taxpayer-funded life blaming farmers and farming for the end of the world due to climate change. The other was professional student and self-proclaimed water campaigner Marnie Prickett, who recently teamed up with the tourism sector to travel around the country blaming the farming sector for poisoning NZ’s water. The Hound suggests if the NZRGPN is going to have such anti-farming types headlining its annual conference, then farming groups who give a lot of money to the network should seriously reconsider it.
