Are they serious?
OPINION: The Greens aren’t serious people when it comes to the economy, so let’s not spend too much on their fiscal fantasies.
Apparently, Rob – “I don’t care where, as long as I am chair” – Hewett recently penned an email to SFF suppliers telling them to basically ‘suck it up’ and ‘get used to the idea of paying emissions for their livestock’ and this was the ‘reality of farming’.
However, as the Hound’s mate says: What would Hewett know about the reality of farming and having to rely solely on the income a farm generates?
He reckons with all Hewett’s various directorships and chairing of several boards and the amount of off-farm income he earns every year, he would have no idea of what the average, run-of the mill farmer thinks.
A very fair point, this old mutt would have thought!
