No sh*t Sherlock

Written by 

Sadly it looks like 2019 is going to be no different from last year regarding the anti-farming stance taken by fishing lobby Fish & Game – rightly dubbed Bitch & Complain by your canine crusader.

The new year was not even a couple of days on when Bitch & Complain released a dodgy survey – commissioned in cahoots with TV1 news – claiming that the most important issue for NZers this year is not housing, child poverty, world peace, Jacinda’s baby or the All Blacks winning the World Cup, but clean waterways. Your old mate reckons it is a fair bet that if you sent out a survey asking people if they want nice clean water to swim and fish in or cesspools running with effluent and disease you are highly likely to get an overwhelmingly, positive affirmative response to the first option.
