The “Howl of a Protest” convoy of 500 tractors and utility vehicles that drove from Richmond to Nelson. The protest was organised by Groundswell NZ. It also wants the Government’s National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity, and the mapping of significant natural areas to be scrapped, as well as the new fuel tax on utes, because farmers and tradespeople do not have an alternative low-emission vehicle to use for work purposes. McKenzie and co-founder Laurie Paterson had spent the morning at the Gore A&P Showgrounds as farmers and supporters assembled. In his speech, McKenzie told the crowd of more than 1000 that ‘’if you are angry here today, you have a right.’’
Traffic was disrupted around the country today, with convoys of tractors and utes with dogs on board arriving in dozens of centres around New Zealand, as farmers protested against government regulations.
Groundswell NZ organised the Howl of a Protest in more than 40 towns and cities over recent environmental regulations, the ute tax and a seasonal worker shortage.
Co-founder Laurie Paterson said the ute tax was the issue people pointed the finger at, but farmers were also unhappy with the bureaucratic approach to the national policy statement for fresh water management.
From July this year, people buying new electric vehicles (EVs) could get as much as $8625 back from the government. The scheme will be funded through levies on high-emissions vehicles from 1 January 2022.
