WELLINGTON: Jacinda Ardern won over many New Zealand farmers with effective COVID-19 policies, but the influential rural bloc has soured on her as out of touch, weighing on the chances for the prime minister's successor to stay in power. A
Although 87 per cent of New Zealand's 5 million people live in urban areas, according to the World Bank, farming remains key to the economy in a country with five times as many sheep as people.
Andrew Hoggard, national president of Federated Farmers, said many Labour regulations were impractical and made farming difficult. "With this government or Jacinda in particular, the moments she shined were all on the world stage," Hoggard said. “All of their promises of what they were going to do, I can’t think a single they’re going to deliver on.
The rural vote has now largely swung back, angered at Labour's efforts to reduce water pollution from fertilisers and animal waste, change the leases on high country ranches and overhaul water infrastructure. The government has proposed an unpopular plan for farmers to pay for methane emissions from their sheep and cows.
