Poor example
YOUR OLD mate hears Horizons Regional Council is causing consternation in more than the rural sector with parts of its controversial One Plan.
It’s even become a major factor in the upcoming director elections for Farmlands, with critics standing for the board against the merger, while incumbents defend it. One current Farmlands director standing for re-election used his weakly (sic) column – accurately described as verbal melatonin because it sends readers to sleep – in what looks like a weekly, rural real estate publication to claim how diligent he has been and whinging about critics of the merger. This old mutt suggests if the said Farmlands director spent more time looking after shareholders’ interests instead of cultivating his media image and profile he may have more luck convincing them.
