Federated Farmers Boss Hog, Andrew Hoggard, a man who is made up of 5%milk powder, 10% dirt and 85% sweat is the new candidate for ACT.
Federated Farmers are a climate denial glee club who stand for corporate farming interests, having their king join a climate denial Party like ACT WHILE the billionaire class keep donating to the right is proof positive that there is a class war in NZ happening right before our eyes.
The money class and the polluters who benefit from lax regulation are all ensuring their political class win the next election so that they regain their dominance of the system.
They will play to your worst fears and distract you while their profit margins become the only metric of success.
There is a class war happening in NZ and because all the Left have as political vocabulary is identity politics, they have no response.
Nationals 3 biggest donors (Hart, Mowbray and Bolton) have a combined net worth of 15 billion!
The Bottom 50% of NZ has 23 billion.
The top 5% of NZers own roughly 50% of NZs wealth, while the bottom 50% of NZers own a miserable 5%!
Are those stats living up to the egalitarian dream of NZ?
The rich are marching on Wellington, the Left are squabbling about pronouns.
When a corporate farmer like Hoggard is manoeuvring into Parliament, big money is getting serious about reclaiming their plutocracy.

If Labour had kept their (decades long) pro-farmer policies, they would likely have the majority of the farming vote.
Assuming the Tories policy remained as it is, support would be split along class lines: small and medium-sized farmers would mostly vote Labour (to protect themselves from falling incomes and complete ruin), and the pro-globalist Tories would be mostly left with the large agricultural companies and large landowners.
Oh well, maybe the cholesterol overload will get to him before he does too much damage! Bacon & eggs for breakfast, T-bone & chips for lunch, Roasted home kill beast for dinner…
Fed Farmers and their members have long been the filthiest of the dirty filthy tories when it comes down to it–profiting most of all from stolen and dubiously acquired land. They are in denial of post colonial fallout as they pour nitrates into the nation’s waterways via animal excretions from over fertilised industrial dairying operations.
For a Fed Farmers person to go ACT shows the desperation, the profitability crisis of these arseholes–plus they need cheap migrant labour and cruel live animal exporting to keep their rate of profit up. Farmers crisis is a capitalist crisis.
Boss hog is a good description for Hoggard given its flooding in Auckland and the Coromandel again it will be interesting to see who really cares about our environment when it comes to election time, and we all know Act are the party of climate deniers who are more interested in locking up people and kids.
Yes Rimmer admitted as much in parliament yesterday. You just build better infrastructure and you won’t get flooded. That’s his explanation on climate change. Nothing to do with one in a hundred year rainfall that has occurred 3 times already this year!
And there are those that will vote for that lunatic.
It’s weird how the identity brigade can’t carefully calculate the ethnicity of ownership of farming in NZ – especially the mega farms that are the most polluting.
More care needs to be made between family farms that tend to be more ecological and not intensive, and massive, intensive, profit led, farms run by overseas billionaires pushing through polluting resource consents and setting harmful precedents.
Govn could easily distinguish by having a maximum cows per hectare policy for example and more controls put on intensive farms that require high levels of discharge of effluent.

The rich must be sweating because they are donating a lot of money to Act and National and is it fair that large amounts of money can influence our election.
But then again the rich donating to another losing cause won’t matter to them as it will become a tax right off. But the bribery awards will be ten fold should they ever be successful.
“… a climate denial glee club…”
Not bad Bomberino, not bad at all 😀
Yes but all the Farmers voted for Labour or should I say Jacinda at the last election and Hog is trying to shift them all to ACT, by passing National.
I think you’ll find some of the biggest dairy farming operations in NZ are run by Maori Incs. Battlefield Earth where do such entities fit in your pecking order. Hoggard is hardly a corporate dairy farmer. Didn’t he start working on the small family dairy farm of about 150 cows, get education, travel then work share milking to build equity and eventually get his own farm which was built to up to a medium to large operation? Sounds more like a self made farmer/businessman than a salaried corporate man. A good fit for ACT and it is telling that he did not go with the wishy washy Nats who have somewhat deserted their former base in chasing middle class urban liberal votes.
The best outcome is that Act and the Federated Farmers drop out shoot each other with their Rambo gun policies.
Federated Fascists…..evidently he’s reported to have been an ACT member for a while
