Good news for farmers as winter grazing rules deferred, but decision slammed as pathetic by critics Newshub 4 days ago © Supplied Critics say winter grazing is an environmental and animal welfare issue.
Controversial rules around winter grazing have been delayed until next year after farmers complained they were impractical and unworkable.
The rules - part of freshwater regulations introduced last year - were supposed to come into effect in May, but that deadline has now been pushed back a year.
Winter grazing - a practice where stock are strip-fed a crop, often in extremely muddy conditions - has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, with critics saying it is an environmental and animal welfare issue.
Greenpeace says the Labour Governmentâs delay in implementing already-weak intensive winter grazing regulations is yet another example of them buckling to New Zealandâs âdirtiest industry.â
Environment Minister David Parker and Agriculture Minister Damien OâConnor announced the delay this evening at a DairyNZ function.
âLeaving a bad practice unregulated and thanking industry for their promises to make it slightly better is no substitute for getting rid of it, as the Government should be doing with intensive winter grazing,â says Greenpeace Senior Campaigner Steve Abel.
âIn the middle of a climate and freshwater emergency, itâs pathetic and depressing to see our Government so captured by industry instead of doing the right thing.
Does Dairy NZ have David Parker s pets held hostage? Are they blackmailing Damien O Conner with compromising photos?
