"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.

A new proposal - a world first - which will see farmers pay for their emissions from 2025 has drawn criticism from both farmers and environmentalists. The document, now up for consultation, would see Cabinet ministers set the rates for greenhouse gases. Some environmental groups say it's not far enough. Opposition pollies believe it will drive harmful emissions overseas. Federated Farmers says it'll rip the guts out of small-town New Zealand. It's not a new idea - pricing emissions dates back to Helen Clark's leadership when it was dubbed the ‘fart tax', as it largely charges for methane produced by cows. Lobby group Groundswell wants the heads of Dairy NZ and Beef and Lamb NZ put out to pasture, claiming they have failed to act as an industry voice. Groundswell co-founder Bryce McKenzie and Agricultural Minister Damien O'Connor gave their sides of the argument on Tova on Wednesday morning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Groundswell NZ, the farmer-led group behind July's "Howl of a Protest", is planning another event on November 21 - "The Mother of all Protests". In an interview with The Country's Jamie Mackay, the Minister of Agriculture Damien O'Connor was asked if he would consider meeting with Groundswell NZ. Yesterday on The Country, Groundswell NZ co-founder Bryce McKenzie denied the group was anti-vax, or that it had ties to Bishop Brian Tamaki. This came after one of the group's coordinators was photographed meeting with leaders of Destiny Church. "He contacted us some time ago before the coalition of freedoms and rights people started having these get-togethers," McKenzie told Mackay. "He said that he was meeting with the Tamakis and we said that wasn't a good idea and that if he was doing that he certainly wasn't to be using the Groundswell name because we didn't want them involved." Listen to Jamie Mackay interview Bryce McKenzie on The Country below: McKenzie said it was something the coordinator was "doing personally" and Groundswell NZ didn't want to be "guilty by association". "Whatever individuals get involved in we have no right to stop them. We asked them not to do it. If they do it as an individual - what can we do?" Mackay told O'Connor that McKenzie and his co-founder Laurie Paterson were not anti-vax, although he was concerned "The Mother of all Protests" could be "hijacked by extremists". O'Connor said he thought Groundswell had done good work but risked being "dragged down by the people who may not represent the majority". Jamie MacKay joined Heather du Plessis-Allan and told her that now is not the right time to be protesting.He says you've got to pick your battles. LISTEN ABOVE
