Dairy NZ is the latest farmer lobby group to take a stand against the Government's He Waka Eke Noa emissions tax scheme. 

The group has threatened to pull support from the Government unless changes are made to the climate emissions pricing scheme, believing no deal is better than a bad deal.

The Chairperson of Dairy NZ, Jim Van De Poel, clarified that this stance isn't new for them, and that they don't want to agree to a legislative change that won't work for the farming community.
