Labour criticizes government for stifling agricultural growth
Labour's agriculture spokesperson says the Government’s decisions are set to hamstring growth within the farming sector.
OPINION: Leader of the Labour Party and His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Chris Hipkins, has formulated a bold strategy to regain power that his rivals won't have predicted.
As far as this mutt can work out, Hipkins' plan involves making his party unelectable to people who like jobs, running water and electricity.
Just as the country was waking up to a ruinous power crisis, made worse by Labour's oil & gas ban, Chippy effectively declared he would reverse any legislation that might fix the problem.
Before the Government had a chance to recover from this blow, Hipkins' lightening strike had moved on to a declaration that NZ was not in fact a sovereign nation.
