More from Roar (now it's cows)

This morning Roar Prawn looks at the proposed Ngai Tahu dairy farm in dry, dry Canterbury (How now brown cow) and makes some very thoughtful observations on the challenges the iwi face in taking up something they've previously decried.

"We wish them well with the Dairying venture. They have 35,000 ha forestry land that is probably not returning much in the way of value. So dairying is definitely a smart move. But what it is highlighting is that Ngai Tahu is in danger of looking hypocritical, chastising others about their methods then a few months later signalling that they are seriously looking at the same large scale operations."
