🚜 Check your nearest protest details for tomorrow

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

Tomorrow is the day we stand up for Kiwi farmers and tell the Government to scrap the Farming Tax, get the latest details at www.groundswellnz.co.nz/campaigns/were-not-going-to-take-it

Even if you have checked before, it's important to take another look, as some details have changed.

Kiwis from all over the country are joining the fight against the Farming Tax, with over 45,000 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 the Farming Tax will reduce Sheep & Beef production by 20% and Dairy production by 6%, but it will then barely affect global emissions, as most of the reduction in New Zealand’s emissions will just be replaced by less efficient foreign farmers jumping into our share of the market.

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.

The Government shouldn’t be slapping extra taxes on farmers, they should be actively finding ways to reduce food production regulations to pass the savings onto families.Kiwi families can’t afford the Farming Tax to pay for Jacinda Ardern’s vanity international communications strategy.

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?
