1. Good show, but early on you say the farmer works tirelessly from dusk till dawn. Wanna correct this?

2. I saw this post today on Facebook. New Zealand farmers regulated to the brink.

   Today’s the day.
   Today’s the day New Zealand farmers will take to the streets in an attempt to get the Labour government to listen to them. They’ve been driven to this because all other attempts have failed.
   I ask myself, how has it possibly come to this?
   How is it possible that New Zealand farmers – who are the most innovative, sophisticated, environmentally conscious producers of food in the world – have had to take to the streets in protest of a tidal wave of unworkable regulation being forced on them? How is it possible that their world leading, grassroots expertise has been so thoroughly dismissed by Jacinda Ardern, David Parker and Damien O’Connor? How is it possible that the government that has overseen the largest borrowing programme in this country’s history, wants to regulate our largest export sector into oblivion? How is it possible that the ‘government of kindness’ is driving rural people to take their own lives in droves, because they cannot see a way out?
   People often ask politicians what they’d take to the streets for and for me, it is our farmers, their families, and our rural communities.
   Today I will stand beside my rural peers and will protest in Ashburton – a district whose farmers have been so badly impacted in recent years by M-Bovis, water regulations, nutrient restrictions, and now floods.
   Winston Churchill once said “if you’re going through hell, keep going”. I say the same to our farmers; keep going. This will not last forever. This government will not last forever. So long as the public votes to send me to Wellington I will do everything I can to advocate for this sector.
   Keep going – your country needs you.
