Federated Farmers calls to strip Greenpeace charity status
Federated Farmers is renewing its call for Greenpeace to be stripped of its charitable status immediately, following the activist group's latest publicity stunt.
According to is its ‘agriculture spokesperson’ Christine Rose – who in a previous life was a bike-riding Auckland regional councillor – the dairy industry is NZ’s ‘worst’ climate polluter.
“Fonterra, and other dairy corporations like it, are polluting our climate with superheating methane and nitrous oxide gases,” Rose claims.
“Worsening the climate crisis and contributing to the devastating extreme weather events we’re seeing around the world - from Cyclone Gabrielle here in Aotearoa to the fires in Maui, Hawai’i.”
It is hard to take Rose and her screaming skull colleagues seriously when they make these kind of extremist and outlandish claims.
