Arable advocacy?
OPINION: Spare a thought for the arable farmer, squeezed on one side by soft global prices and on the other by limits on further yield increases.
The gist of the report was that this is an unscrupulous thing to be happening.
The report then went on to quote anti-live export groups SAFE and the SPCA saying how terrible it was that an interest group would look at raising funds to try and garner public support to put pressure on the Government to back its cause.
However, nowhere in said 'investigation' did RNZ ask how much money both SAFE and the SPCA had spent on pressuring the previous government to implement the live export ban, which they both furiously lobbied for.
