“I want to leave what we’ve got on the farm better off for my kids.” Groundswell NZ’s main concerns, and the focus of the “Howl of a Protest”, was what they described as unworkable environmental policies for freshwater, significant natural areas (SNAs) and climate change. The organisation said people were feeling overwhelmed by the avalanche of “poorly designed policies” and the “we know best, one-size-fits-all mindset” of the current Government.
