Mark Hooper Joins NZPork Board as Independent Director
Rural leader Mark Hooper has been appointed as an independent director to the NZPork board, bringing extensive farming, governance and advocacy experience to the role.
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.
