I have a lot of hate for nz farmers but I’m gonna defend them here because i think they are on the right side of the issue. What I assume you’re referencing was the biomethane reduction targets. Those were stupid and should be opposed, nz is well within its means when it comes to emissions and biomethane is very short lived compared to co2. Asking farmers to reduce their output by 10-25% is insane because we know it would require reducing production. We can’t have a purist environmental target while trading with china otherwise we are just cucks destroying our own economy in favour of buying it from someone who does the most environmental damage.
Government should repair the roads, its what they are there to do.
It’s also just how the world works. Governments collect revenue in various forms, and provide services to us. The farmers pay plenty of tax in various forms, and they rightly expect both local and national government to hold up their end of the bargain.
