F&G on Waituna

Ignoring waterways won't fix problem

Here's the link to Bryce Johnson's straight-shooting account of Waituna's woes and an extract to show how good his aim is.

"As usual, all Federated Farmers can offer to counter continuing compliance failure and calls to curb dairying to save wetlands and waterways from degradation is the same old do-nothing response that "regulation won't work".
Feds Southland dairy boss Vaughan Templeton's statement that "things" need to be "put in place to minimise" the impact of dairy farming is typically vague.
How much longer is this going to wash with the New Zealand public when all evidence clearly shows that not regulating the sector isn't working?"
