A nationwide campaign opposing the government’s rural sector regulations and policies launched out of Invercargill yesterday.
Rerouting slightly around Mataura due to flooding-induced road closures, Groundswell NZ co-founders Bryce McKenzie and Laurie Paterson led a convoy of about 10 tractors out of Lorneville Stockyards at 9.30am, planning to arrive at Auckland’s Ellerslie Racecourse on October 1.
Drive 4 Change is Groundswell’s latest campaign, timed to mobilise voters during election season.
