Feds Focus | Red light for Green water policy
About this episode
Mark Hooper critiques the Green Party's freshwater policy, arguing it is economically and scientifically flawed and would increase food prices in New Zealand.
Federated Farmers’ national board member Mark Hooper says the Green Party’s freshwater policy is scientifically and economically illiterate, and would push up the price of food here in New Zealand. He says while everyone wants improved water quality, that doesn’t have to come at the cost of food affordability.
