Tractors to the fore

I met @julzmaioro in town early this morning so we could see the farmers' getting organised for their protest. They are upset with all the changing regulations from the government. Today, all over NZ, the farmers were out in force with their tractors, utes and trucks. This was part of the crew who drove into Auckland, going up on the motorway and right into Queen Street. Some of them even ventured over the harbour bridge.

Goodness they were prepared and early! Ours didn't assemble till 11.30am and I caught the procession around 1.15pm. This is such a good catch!

Wow well supported protest producing an interesting record image Dianne:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice leading line of tractors and lights. I think everyone is feeling the crunch of the effects and Covid 19.

[Joan Robillard]

Amazing - lots of upset people every where. Hope the government listens. We need our farmers all over the world.

Great photo Dianne…..seems a good turn out & I know the farmers of NZ are not happy one bit. Same here too, so many rules & unfair expectations….hope Jacinda takes heed…agriculture is the whole life blood of NZ. Fave.
Seeing that would give you a tingle up your spine…@julzmaioro & you would be cheering!

[Lou Ann]

I do hope your PM heeds this warning and negotiates with the farmer coalition!

[Dianne]

@happypat yes - it was a great turnout - and a nice change for @julzmaioro and I to get out together with our cameras.

[Jane Pittenger]
