PM says the ‘war on farming’ is over, at Fieldays’ Mystery Creek

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The rural sector will pull the country out of recession, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told farmers at Mystery Creek on Tuesday.

Luxon’s main message was that farmers are not villains, they are “partners” of the Government and the saviours of the New Zealand economy.
