What else David Parker said

Thanks to live tweeting, we have other extracts from what Labour MP David Parker said at the public meeting. They are:

  • DP doesn’t seem to accept water is a renewable resource unlike oil or gold
  • Lots of pictures of poor farming practices, none from Canterbury and none involving irrigation. None involving arable either
  • Don’t push us on the numbers or we will price it higher I take that as a direct threat
  • We will fund MFE to prosecute farmers
  • Farmers created the urban rural divide
  • Complimenting ECan commissioners they’ve done a bloody good job
  • Every single one of the pictures we are seeing here are from non irrigated land in the Hawkes bay. All practices  illegal in Canterbury
