'Sheer arrogance'

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: A reader recently called out the Hound for not giving Federated Farmers enough credit for taking Otago Regional Council to task on its dodgy rule changes.

Fair cop - Otago Feds have led the fight with ORC.

They're again calling on ORC to "delay notification of new freshwater rules and lay the full costs bare for the community to see".

Otago president Luke Kane says the council has been about as transparent as a brick wall.

"First they said we were totally wrong, and we didn't understand, then they said it's complicated and we were only partially correct, and now they've gone totally quiet".

Feds say the sheer arrogance on display from ORC is simply jaw-dropping.

"It's not just Environment Minister Penny Simmonds waiting for these costings. It's the entire Otago region."
