'Sheer arrogance'
OPINION: A reader recently called out the Hound for not giving Federated Farmers enough credit for taking Otago Regional Council to task on its dodgy rule changes.
Over the years, their relentless whining - a bit like your neighbour standing outside your window all day with his leaf blower on full - has become tiresome to the point that your old mate wonders if the public even registers their negative harping anymore.
Just in the last three weeks, their press releases to media have opposed, among other things, the Fast Track Bill, opposed the removal of the GE ban, and even opposed Fonterra for pointing out many NZ farmers do in fact already use regenerative practices.
As Kermit once sang, "It's not easy being green", but Greenpeace really need to change the record.
