What on earth is the reasoning behind allowing police to enter your home without a warrant? Nothing has happened that comes near to that requirement. This unbridled power is wrong on so many levels. Is Jacinda getting advice from her communist friends? Is that who she calls on?

Can’t disagree with this advice. It is important to recognise that every country and every farm has a different footprint.

Wonderful story #Rizza&Sylvia dairy farmers from #Southland on #CountryCalender @DairyNZ @Fonterra @BallanceNZ great to see the @docgovtnz #LivingWaters project @LW_DOC_Fonterra where #riparianplanting has led to increased native fish no’s.

It is a sad to see a key coop go to foreign hands. We only have one open diary coop left... We need to ensure we have a strong Fonterra.

I personally think commercial farming is a generational occupation. Farming in Uganda and Africa has been more for home sustenance and of minimal economic value. That,s why we have thousands of micro farms with much less productivity @GlobalFarmerNet @Agricissexy @kaahwajean1

This is great news. Our biggest company & one of our biggest users of coal is fast-tracking its move away from this dirtiest of fossil fuels to clean renewable energy for its heat processing. I and @Megan_Woods welcome Fonterra's leadership on behalf of the Government.
We’re bringing forward our commitment not to install any new coal boilers by 11 years. Read more here: fonterra.com/nz/en/our-stori…
