$120,000 payout for community affected by 'bad smell'
A Waikato dairy processing company has been convicted and fined almost $140,000 for producing odours that have been described as 'nauseating' - in some cases causing some individuals to seek medical attention.
The Waikato Regional Council recieved 109 complaints from local businesses and residents in Waharoa about odours discharged by Open Country Dairy Limited.
Should the penalties for environmental damages be harsher for New Zealand companies?
