Thanks CleanGreen

I believe that each Minister and spokesperson for Labour should be given thorough training in how to deal with Journalists and Interviewers.

You see, a Person like Corin Dan has all day to mull over his few lines – then throw them at the Minister at 90 MPH hour – and then cut across the Minister. All techniques to wrong foot the Interviewee.

Corin, in perfect Herr Herman SS style then presents, not the Ministers words, but his own – to a panel who has no familiarity with the content or the scope of the topics that Herr Herman has lobbed at the minister.

Herr Herman SS – then draws out the flaws of the Minster with the panel, and not the strengths

Each Minister must rattle Corin by the simple use of SLOWING him down. “What did you mean by that Mr Dan?”. What have you written in your notes Mr Dan. How did you manage to get that wrong Corin.” “What did your Editor tell you to say Mr Dan ?”

In short – turn the interview upside down politely until he drops his wealthy bias and his anti Labour jackboots.

As For the DOM Post- Simply advise all of New Zealand at every opportunity that the DOM Post is unreliable and The Government will not be releasing any matters whatever through its Offices.

Nor will it invite DOM staff to Government premises.

Both Corin and David if he was given the opportunity should have made a bit more Ag Sci background I think.
Some soils are naturally fertile, have different particle sizes , and are thus much more and less able to hold extra nutrient that is applied. Some sandy and pumas soils have the capacity to trap and hold fertiliser , Phosphate or Nitrates , poorly. So if it rains too much too soon after application it all finishes up in the creek along with the nitrates etc. excreted. So some soils can physically carry a heavy stocking rate, cope with the physical effects of being walked over and over by very heavy animals without pugging and produce a lot of grass if the fertiliser is pored on constantly . But loose much of that fertiliser if it rains too much. Others need less added because it stays trapped until picked up by plant roots , and almost none escapes. So an arbitrary across the board limit to the number of cows per hector would not be appropriate. Some soils would carry twice the number that others would without nutrient loss to water ways.

Meanwhile, the MSM seems to consider, there are NO issues with CHILD LABOUR in New Zealand, I cannot believe it:

Put the blinkers, on, nothing bad in NZ Inc., there is nothing wrong here, it is all well and sweet. FFS, get real.

To be fair, the media reports are not about any caps and so, they are merely about the need to reduce dairy cow numbers, which the Minister admitted can be achieved by limited nutrient levels permitted in waterways, meaning those exceeding them, may have to reduce numbers.

But then whether based on stock numbers or nutrient level the result will be the same, fewer dairy cows. So the headlines are not inaccurate.

In practice, those farmers who best manage nutrient levels will have the smaller reduction in stock numbers.

Well said Frank.

The MSM will never let the truth get in the way of a good story. The news, and MSM , have become a clickbait reality show. It’s about entertainment, not about accurate information. Our media is following the same sorry path as the USA.

In reply to Observer Tokoroa.

I heartily agree with you there OT.

I have seen this many times from most ‘fake news reporters’ here now.
NZ media is dead.
