Egan thanks family, friends for ONZM honour
Greenlea Premier Meats managing director Anthony (Tony) Egan says receiving the officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) honour has been humbling.
Let's face it, the current government's distain for the agricultural sector is pretty apparent by the way it has treated the sector over the last few years.
Despite the fact the NZ primary sector - literally and figuratively - saved the country's bacon during the pandemic, not one person in the primary sector was given an award for services to agriculture.
No matter what you think of former health boss Ashley Bloomfield, good, bad or indifferent, he was given a knighthood for actually doing his job that he was also paid in excess of $500,000 each and every year for.
Nice work, Sir Ash or is that Sir Cash!
