Bouquets

OPINION: Bouquets this week from the old mutt for Fed Farmers and Groundswell for continuing to resist the proposed Gore District plan and its intention to apply costly "cultural values" across the district and a raft of land classifications that are unworkable and counterproductive. As Groundswell notes, when they first objected to the new plan, it was going to place the whole Gore District under the 'Sites and Areas of Significance to Māori' classification. "All they've done since is change the name to Cultural Values." The ones who benefit from this change and who are pushing for it rely on everyone being scared of being labelled 'racist' for daring to challenge the workability of such proposals, so kudos to these advocacy groups for trying to hold the line at Gore, before it spreads to other districts. #Federated_Farmers #GROUNDSWELL #Local_Government
