Farm emission plan announced, expect to pay more for your food...

Bullshit with a big helping of misogyny.

I thought it would be and nearly didn't look, but am pleased that I did. What I saw was mainly the part about our farmers and it was pretty on the mark. People are screaming about increased food prices yet the government is just pushing to make it worse. One day we'll wake up and realise that our farms are now all growing pine trees and we have to import all our food. That's really great for our carbon footprint.

Damn right, we will have no farms left and everything will be bloody pines everywhere, I was driving out on the west coast the other day and there is tons of sheep farm all planted in pines now!
Its really sad.
Problem is that these "intellectuals" who have no experience in farming or any knowledge on where their food comes from because all they know about getting food is working in an office 24/7 and then buying the food from the supermarket.
Then they get involved in politics and think they can change the world.

Its time we actually had the country run by farmers, we kinda did at one point with Jim Bolger, but we could do better.
