Make it 1000%!
OPINION: The appendage swinging contest between the US and China continues, with China hitting back with a new rate of 125% on the US, up from the 84% announced earlier.
However, he reckons the Government's decision to announce its final agricultural emissions policy just a couple of days before Christmas, when most media have knocked off for the year and people are busy readying themselves for the holidays, is one of the most cynical and gutless moves he's seen.
How cynical was it of Ag Minister Damien O'Connor and PM Jacinda Ardern to make possibly the biggest announcement to impact on agriculture in this country since the reforms of the 1980s and then bugger off on holiday or 6 weeks!
Perhaps, just like their government's equally cynical move to pass the deeply unpopular 3 waters legislation right on the eve of end-of-year, they hope people will forget about it.
Fat chance - especially with an election year in the offing!
