Bad Policy The Real Issue For Milk Industry
Bad Policy The Real Issue For Milk Industry
ACT New Zealand Agriculture Spokesman Hilary Calvert today announced ACT’s support for a Select Committee inquiry into the price of milk but stressed that the priority should be getting rid of bad government policies that drive up costs.
“New Zealanders want transparency around the price of milk and ACT can understand that. But the real issue for the dairy industry is the cost heaped on farmers by red-tape and bad Government policy,” Ms Calvert said.
“ACT will campaign strongly on reforming the Resource Management Act, scrapping the Emissions Trading Scheme and reducing government spending, all of which will be of far more benefit to farmers and consumers than a Select Committee inquiry.
