Poor suffering farmers - yeah right...

[C_T_Russell]

Oh gee - I dunno...are people 'happy' not having a planet which is livable any more.

Well animals are nature, the earth looks after animals, whether they are farmed or not. The carbon methane cycle has been on this planet since forever.
Lets address more important issues such as fertilizer, and nitrates etc rather than the actual animals itself.
There is a reason the Paris agreement prohibits policies that affect food production.
Dont let the likes of TESCO hold us to ransom over stupid policies, they will still buy our meat, our grass fed beef and lamb is probably the most environmental and nutritious beef on the planet.

Saw an article the other day about a plantain that can be grown to feed cows which produces less gas. Just like everyone/everything else, R&D is being done on behalf of farmers.

I agree with most of what C_T Russell says, but disagree with his choice of party to support. As well as being fringe and unscientific in its beliefs, we also need a government that knows how to govern and understands that our lives are far more complex than just a few policies that attract those with an axe to grind.

Ive attended one of their meetings and met Matt King in person.
I wouldnt consider him an "antivax" person at all, yes alot of his supporters may be in that crowd, but there are also a number of people from all walks of life that have been affected by various policies implemented by this govt.
Ive also attended meetings held by the likes of Tamaki, outdoors party to mention a few, I can truly say there is a totally different atmosphere amongst those other parties compared to Democracy NZ.

Not only was his conduct more professional, but he didnt spout any anti-govt rhetoric or antivax propaganda, etc.
His policy is pretty simple actually, its all about common sense, listening to the people and giving people freedom of choice.
The bill of rights was his main concern, he is really interested in protecting democracy as far as I can tell.
ACT and NZF are the only other parties I would consider voting for, red and blue are out for me and always have been.
