Act Public Meeting: Simon Court & Andrew Hoggard

ACT wants to see the rural sector given the respect it deserves. New Zealand farmers are the best in the world and they’ve had to confront plenty of challenges recently. But they shouldn’t have to face challenges from their own Government.

Labour and the Greens believe they know best and their bureaucracy and red tape are crushing the rural sector.

ACT says we should let farmers get on with what they do best.

Climate policies should be based on sound science, acknowledging the fundamental differences between methane from livestock and carbon dioxide. Water policies should be tailored to local conditions, rather than one-size-fits-all solutions that impose massive costs for little benefit in many cases.

A Party Vote for ACT is a vote for real change and a more co-operative approach between government and farmers. The environmental efforts of the rural sector should be acknowledged and valued before heavy-handed regulations are put in place.

With the right approach, and ACT’s practical solutions, we can once again see the rural sector as an essential and valued part of the New Zealand economy.
