Your old mate understands that while lobby group Fish & Game may have a new head in place it has not changed its anti-farming tune one bit.

F&G’s new boss Martin Taylor is living up to the activist group’s well-earned moniker of Bitch & Complain by continuing the boring bitching and complaining. Taylor has only been in the job a month, but has already opined that the rural/urban divide is a myth – as only an ignorant and arrogant urbanite would say. And just recently Taylor has joined his anti-farming friends at Greenpeace to launch a nasty tirade at DairyNZ’s newly released strategic plan ‘Dairying Tomorrow’ which aims to improve the industry’s environmental footprint. These groups will not be happy until NZ’s dairy herd is completely culled!
