Wrong!

Written by  The Hound

The Hound is quick to put the boot in when someone gets things wrong, so he has to confess to his own major cock-up in the last issue of 2023.

The old mutt must have hit the Christmas sherry a little too early when commenting on the performance of Rob ‘I don’t care where, as long as I’m chair’ Hewett’s tough year.

The Hound mistakenly and wrongly accused Hewett of overseeing a $98 million loss for Silver Fern Farms.

While poor old chairman Rob has many irons in the fire, he – of course – is not responsible for the Alliance Group, which actually reported a $98 million loss last year and not Silver Fern Farms!

The Hound was punished for this mistake by only been given bone and no meat for Christmas – much like Alliance Group’s farmer shareholders – and would like whole-heartedly to apologise to readers, SFF shareholders and Hewett for his mistake.
