Groundswell is using Fieldays' first day to call for New Zealand to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. The grassroots advocacy group seeks to halt or rewrite what regulations impacting farmers it calls 'unworkable'. Co-founder Bryce McKenzie says the agreement's costing New Zealand money and farming land. He says the wind's changed on this issue. "And I think Winston is certainly going to look at it and it's going to be more of an election issue, I think, than anything else. We all know Winston's pretty astute at picking where the people are going." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lately, a subset of farmers have been refusing to fill in the Agricultural Census, despite it being a legal requirement. Groundswell is a driving force behind these farmers, as they're united in wanting to protest the Government's emissions tax. Co-founder of Groundswell, Bryce McKenzie, says that he's noticed this protest is having some effect on the Government, as they've extended the Census collection deadline. "We're not saying we don't want to do this, because there's a lot of good that can come from doing a Census as well. But what we're saying is- let's change the metric so that we're actually getting fair value for what we're doing." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The turn-out may not have been as big, but the organisers are still deeming today's protests a success. Thousands of farmers have revved their tractors, trucks and utes in protest to the Government's proposed livestock emissions plan. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie says they're pleased, considering they had eight days to prepare. He says it's the busiest time of the year, with lambing season in full swing and farmers planting crops and vegetables. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tractors will take to our roads today as part of a nation-wide protest organised by Groundswell. The farmer advocacy group opposes the government's emission pricing scheme plan and expects "thousands" will vent their feelings from midday. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie spoke to Corin Dann.
The co-founders of Groundswell admit they have not read the three waters legislation they are so vehemently against. More than 300 people gathered at the Gore Town and Country Club yesterday afternoon to voice their opposition to the government's proposed reforms, some had not read the bill. Groundswell co-founders Laurie Paterson and Bryce McKenzie also said they haven't read the proposed legislation. Paterson says, nonetheless, they're opposed to what's on the table.

Farming protest group Groundswell says it won't meet the Prime Minister alongside other agricultural lobby groups. Groups such as Dairy-NZ and Beef and Lamb have been working with the Government on a way for farmers to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions while avoiding joining the Emissions Trading Scheme. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie told Morning Report the group doesn't want to be lumped in with them because it doesn't believe they represent the country's farmer base. He says Groundswell isn't against reducing emissions, but the proposed levy amounts to a tax. Groundswell believes its email subscriber base is bigger than Federated Farmers.
