Farmer's Protest

all over NZ. About the Government's legislation to transfer assets and ownership of water rights from individual Councils to one Government group with Maori dominating control.
Thankful for:
We managed to get AA to come and get our car started in time for this procession.

Lovely shot. Without trying to understand or side with one or the other, it is always the same everywhere. Anything new move warrants protests. Some could be important and merit reconsideration while others could be frivolous. One thing that comes immediately to my mind and which I completely disagree with, are the protests all over Europe by people who do not want to accept covid vaccination and the Green Card.

Wow, that tractor is big. I hope it all went peacefully

Sad story. I always say following the money reveals the truth and the greed behind it.

[Krista Marson]

I always say that money is the answer to everything, but soon, that answer may very well be water.

Terrific shot of these huge machines and the people. Such a shame they need to protest instead of finding a peaceful solution.

[Diana]

Although we live in the country, I have never seen such a huge tractor! Hope it was a peaceful protest action.

[Rick Schies]

Greed, that what life seems to be about today

[Bep]

Hope they'll find a peaceful solution.

@sangwann I agree totally, Dione - some people just hate being told what to do!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn The Government put a plan into action, Katy without referendum, to commandeer all the water assets and put them largely into Maori control!

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje see my reply to Katy above, Bep!

[Maggiemae]

@pusspup It did in most areas but in Auckland the protest was hijacked by anti vaccers. And some with Hitler flags and Trump support!

[haskar]

I hope it all went peacefully.

[katy]

@maggiemae wow!

[Lou Ann]

Oh my it seems governments everywhere are trying to take over everything.

[Maggiemae]

@louannwarren It has communism thoughts attached to this!
