Barry Cuttance Suspension: Inside the NZDFA Dispute

The restructure has been canned and Hill acknowledged that buy-in from the rural sector was a critical element of the proposal’s success.
His thinking is a far cry from what the ‘my way or the highway’ approach adopted by many politicians and bureaucrats when finalising policy that affects the rural sector.
