OPINION: Was the ASB Economic Weekly throwing shade on Reserve Bank governor Adrian Orr when reporting on his speech in Washington recently?
He suggests that the cuddling up and appeasement to the current Labour Government by – among others – the selfappointed Farm Leaders Group, DairyNZ, Beef+Lamb NZ and the Primary Sector Council may find it somewhat difficult, after having to wipe the brown stuff from their collective noses, in dealing with a new National-led government.
He reckons it might be time for a number of these ‘Benedict Arnolds’ to fall on their swords before their heads are cut off by the farmer groups they have purported to represent and by a less than impressed new administration in power. Food for thought!
