Bus trip with Jenny Marcroft MP to Whangarei to help lunch Jonesy’s campaign.

A big day in NZ politics, looking forward to discussing with Sarah Perriam I Sarah's Country on Sarah’s Country this evening.

Out and about in Dunedin, Milton,Gore and Mataura today with Hon.Shane Jones MP @NZFirstNews Annoncing some shovel ready projects, assessing progress on PGF funded projects and visiting the Mataura Paper Mill where the toxic dross is stored. Big announcements in Invercargill tomorrow.

Change over function at Fed Farmers tonight. Congratulations to Katie Milne , Miles Anderson and Andrew McLean on a fine term of service on behalf of farmers. Feds now in the capable hands of Andrew Hoggard with plenty of advice coming from Chris🥛Proud Food Producer 🐄🐂 and YOLOFarmerNZ

NZ’s world-first effort to eradicate M.bovis has made significant progress. 3 years to the day since it was detected in NZ there are now just 4 infected farms. That’s something our farming community should be really proud of. I'm certainly very proud of them. DairyNZ Beef + Lamb New Zealand

Great news, world leading effort. Well done to the Ag sector and MPI. No time for complacency though.

My class of 17 @NZFirstNews colleague @markpattersonmp presenting his petition to the Environment Select Committee #nzpol Mark’s petition is to Remove Aluminium Dross from the Mataura Paper Mill. Good work Mark in bringing this toxic issue to parliament.

Yesterday I made the plea on behalf of Mataura to the Environment select committee to remove the toxic Aluminium Dross from the Paper Mill. stuff.co.nz/environment/12…

Big turnout for Winston Peters @NZFirstNews “Save Tiwai” meeting in Invercargill today. It’s madness to walk away from 2600 jobs and $450m of economic activity. We also popped out to Tiwai to hear the workers concerns.

I think Buck enjoyed hearing my old rugby yarns. Great to have Buck along for this evenings function in Parliament to celebrate the PGF funding for protecting the term Manuka for NZ Manuka Honey.

It was a great honour to be presented the 15000 strong petition on behalf of Southland Sheep Farmer Amy Blackie Amy Blaikie to have NZ Wool used in all government buildings. Thanks to Winston Peters and many industry leaders for lending your support. Fantastic work Amy.

We are ensuring that for the first time in a long time Wellington is listening to the provinces...that’s what this entire campaign is about...

Wow the Green Party NZ are really going after farmers. After demanding the Ag portfolio they are going to impose a water tax, fert tax, phase out nitrogen, draconian DIN limits and ban PKE. That’s what a Labour/Green govt looks like, time to buy yourself some insurance with New Zealand First

Understated euphoria at the Lawrence Pub as Otago lift the Shield.
