A simple idea – how farmers can pay for their own problems

There are 6.5 million cows in NZ.

How many times do Erica Stanford and the government have to make a mockery of the education system before people…

The rich will raise walls and buy more air conditioning. Everyone else gets heat, hunger, displacement and a political system protecting the polluters.

Three elected teacher representatives resign early. Erica Stanford moves towards a fully appointed Teaching Council. And the same ugly question keeps surfacing: who is really in charge?

Stuart Nash leaked Cabinet details to donors, disgraced himself talking about women, and has now found a new political home with NZ First. Of course he has.

After years demanding Labour define a woman, NZ First’s answer appears to be: a woman is a biological female and a female is a biological female.

The Mongrel Mob meth rehabilitation programme worked. But in New Zealand, looking tough on gangs matters more than reducing addiction.
Something along those lines does already seem to be considered.
A kind of insurance scheme, like EQC, I last heard.
Maybe they learn from this disaster that has unfolded?
Hey Countryboy. Tourism is our no1 earner.
Tech is 3 and coming along fast.

It’s going to be an ‘interesting’ year. Maybe an ‘interesting’ week.
Yes it should be used Mike,
Well though out plan.
A very easy cost to bear now. @ $10 a cow is such a low cost for farmers, I only have sheep and see our price drop over $10 a pop every day.
$10 will not affect their future should micro platma bovis finally be iradicated, it is a win win win for all.
With each cow being a $10 liability then each payment will be motivations to reduce cow numbers.
Farming for profit, not output and polluting for free.
