A minor shakeup at Beef + Lamb NZ (Southern South Island = Clutha & Southland)) may not sound interesting, but it could be. Geoffrey Young won the vote, but while he stood as an "independent" the ODT notes...

"He was openly supported by Groundswell New Zealand."

The 'Old, white and we've always done it that way' crowd increase their toxic influence.

Wasn’t Taxpayers Union initial registrant of Groundswell’s domain name? Quickly changed to coy with Jordan Williams as sole shareholder when discovered. All quasi-National Party there to disrupt our NZ

Read they are telling farmers to boycott Agricultural Production Survey. Shortsighted, politically manipulative old men

Plz get friends & whānau in Hamilton West to vote

Well, I'm going to have to say this is unsurprising given the way old white guys behave in this country (#groundswell et al), and around the world, but it does surprise me how often they're targeting children with sexual content. Although, now that I think about it, maybe its not that surprising... coughGloriavalecough! #nzpol #nztwits #māori #abuse https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/11/european-men-the-worst-offenders-for-digital-harm-police-data.html

Would be intriguing to see a fediverse server set up specifically for rural people involved in food production (farmers, market gardeners, orchardists etc). It could be a way for them to talk to each other across regional/ factional boundaries, and to talk directly with us city folk, instead of only through gatekeepers (Fed Farmers, Groundswell, media organizations, etc).

NO CLIMATE, NO FARMERS.

Agriculture relies on a stable climate, and if we don't take action on climate change, farmers will suffer. Extreme weather will hurt our ability to produce food far more than any meagre pollution tax.
