🚜 Protest details for Thursday

Bryce, Laurie, Mel, and the team at Groundswell NZ

We’re emailing to update you on the details for Thursday’s protest against the Farming Tax.

Go to www.groundswellnz.co.nz/campaigns/were-not-going-to-take-it to get the details.

We’ve had a massive response to our fight against the Farming Tax so far, with over 28,000 New Zealanders signing up to protect farming and our rural communities from the Government’s punitive, counterproductive, and unworkable tax on food production.

Not only will it cut food production by up to 20% in some sectors, but the Farming Tax will barely affect global emissions – in fact, on the Government’s own numbers, some emissions will go up.

This is pure ideology from a Government more concerned with looking good at the UN than on how New Zealand will pay its way in the world, the viability of our rural communities, and even the food prices Kiwi households will have to pay as the Farming Tax drives food production offshore to less efficient, foreign farmers.

This Thursday at midday, Kiwis across the country will gather to leave the Government and the rest of the country in no doubt that We’re Not Going to Take It.

Will we see you there?

With your support, we can make the Farming Tax an election-deciding issue the politicians can’t ignore.
