Persona non grata?

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: A mate of yours truly wonders just exactly how some of the so-called ‘leaders’ in the ag sector will fare if there is a change of Government on Oct 14.

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!
