Keeping a watch on dairy farms
OPINION: Dairy farmers are under increasing pressure to safeguard their livestock, equipment and operations from a range of security threats.
However, the reality was somewhat different. While anti-TPP activists like former failed Green MP 'Red' Russel Norman and current failed Auckland University lecturer 'Hanoi' Jane Kelsey were quick to claim to an unquestioning media a 'huge surge of public support' for their communistic anti-TPP views, the actual figures are somewhat less impressive. Apparently there were 17 different marches around the country on November 14, to which about 1000 people turned out; the Hound calculates an average of 58 people at each march. Hardly a huge endorsement!
