Whoops!

OPINION: Your canine crusader understands that late last month in Southland, Beef+Lamb NZ chair Andrew Morrison – on what was described as a thinly disguised re-electioneering round – held two separate invite-only meetings for farmers on agricultural emissions, with scientist David Frame in tow.

Apparently, the first meeting was for all the “troublemakers” who have challenged B+LNZ.

Then the second invite-only meeting was – as told to yours truly – “for the compliant farmer robots, who don’t ask questions of the messiah and his mothership”.

According to the Hound’s source, this would have worked out well for Morrison, until the ‘troublemakers’ meeting went an hour longer than planned and as they were walking out the more compliant farmers were walking in.

Awkward!

Oh Canada!

OPINION: Your canine crusader reckons the so-called lovefest between our very woke PM Jacinda Ardern and her equally woke Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau isn’t worth a pint of sour milk.
