Groundswell NZ: More protests are planned

Farmers are getting ready to make more noise over government regulations.

Thousands of tractor-riding farmers brought their dogs to towns across New Zealand last month for the Howl of a Protest - against changes on freshwater and climate change mitigation.

Groundswell New Zealand Co-organiser Laurie Paterson told Kate Hawkesby the Government has remained silent.

“Perhaps James Shaw and David Parker that effectively said ‘we’re not going to change anything’, that’s it. We certainly haven’t heard from the Prime Minister.”

Farmers will be out honking horns for two minutes around lunchtime for the next three Fridays.

Another big protest is planned for November.
