All Claas!

Written by  The Hound
All Claas!

OPINION: Your canine crusader - like many in the sector probably would have - raised an eyebrow when he heard the news that UK Tory Party MP Neil Parish was recently forced to resign after he "accidentally" opened an X-rated video while looking at machinery online.

Parish quit last month after admitting he twice watched he twice watched adult clips in the House of Commons.

However, the farmer claimed he had only viewed the porn by accident because he had been looking for "tractors" online and had got "into another website with a sort of a very similar name".

According to reports from his friends, the former MP was actually looking for Dominator combine harvesters when the search resulted in that hardcore filth.

Oh yeah? The Hound reckons if that is the case then quite a few machinery buffs in rural NZ could find themselves in trouble if they go online looking for a new harvester or tractor!

Good job!

Good job!

OPINION: Your old mate notes that research on the make-up of the new parliament shows it is now far more farmer-friendly and populated with greater rurally aware MPs.

Crazy

OPINION: Your canine crusader was truly impressed by the almost unanimous support given by politicians of all stripes in Parliament to the recent passing of legislation for the NZ/EU free trade deal.

More!

OPINION: As this old mutt suggested in the last issue, MPI looks a very good candidate for some serious public sector savings that the government is currently looking for.

Not so bad!

OPINION: Your old mate is still somewhat gobsmacked by sheer stupidity and lack of understanding by Beef+Lamb NZ’s board in asking for a pay rise at this year’s annual meeting.
