True Reflection?
A fair question has been raised about how member-funded organisations should conduct themselves when taking a public position on any given issue.
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.
