Your old mate was reminded of his mother’s wise words when he saw an opinion piece in a regional rag supposedly penned by Winston Peters. It was yet another fictional diatribe in a last-ditch effort to get Silver Fern Farms’ shareholders to vote against the merger with Shanghai Maling (yet another fail for Winny). He claimed “SFF’s management and board have dodged every debate with [NZ First] about their behaviour.” This coming from the very same man who has refused, evaded and ignored, for months, questions put by Rural News about NZ First’s involvement/relationship with the secret cabal of antagonists who tried, and failed, to de-rail the SFF merger.
