OPINION: Your canine crusader, like many in the sector, is wondering just exactly what is happening with the so called ‘wool industry initiatives’.

What is Rob ‘I don’t’ care where, as long as I’m chair’ Hewett and his handpicked bunch of acolytes actually up to on the heavily government- and industry-funded Wool Impact Group (WIG)?

The sudden resignation last month of WIG chair Mike Allen poses further questions.

It seems like a lot of money has been wasted on expensive consultants producing reports, but with bugger all else achieved.

Meanwhile, as the consultants and various board members collect their fees, strong wool growers continue to lose money hand over fist and the sector continues to go down the gurgler, while Rob’s mob continue to twiddle their thumbs and spin yarns (pun intended) about all the wonderful things they are supposedly doing.

Purist problem

OPINION: The sudden departure of Jim Ward, manager of Molesworth Station for 24 years, highlighted some major dysfunction in the way conservation estate is managed in this country - the biggest problem, as the Hound sees it, being idealogues who harp on about "taonga" and use all means possible to block sensible commercial operations on conservation land.
