Lock the gate

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Big surprise, Fish & Game find themselves at odds with farmers, once again, and at risk of costing their members the one thing they value above all else – access across private land to fishable lakes and rivers.

Following a court decision requiring Southland farmers to gain resource consent to farm lawfully, Southland Fed Farmers have called for locals to boycott F&G and deny anglers access across their land.

This old mutt’s been around long enough to remember the last time F&G’s attacks on farmers reached a head; in 2014 farmers right across NZ joined Rural News’ ‘Lock the Gate!’ campaign to deny F&G members access to their land.

Then, as now, F&G whined that it was ‘unfair’, but then, as now, they found out what happened when you push farmers too far – access denied!!
