Federated Farmers urge government to honour KiwiSaver promise
Federated Farmers is calling on the Government to deliver on its pre-election promise to change the KiwiSaver rules to help young farmers get their foot on the farming ladder.
Federated Farmers are applying pressure on the Government to hold an independent inquiry into rural banking.
With little movement from the Government, Feds have written to the parliamentary primary production select committee, chaired by no other than ACT MP and Northland dairy farmer Mark Cameron, considered a fervent supporter of better rules for farmers.
The message from Feds in a recent letter was, "urgently get this inquiry underway". Cameron, a vocal proponent of farmers in Parliament, is yet to reply.
