What a shocker. Agriculture minister who’s also a livestock farmer thinks livestock farmers should be free to continue to pour shit into our waterways with impunity, all the while pocketing taxpayer subsidies. This is his “ambition”.

What a country we live in.

Let’s focus on the immense positives of cycling instead!

“Cyclist was pulled under wheel of the truck & her backpack caused her body to be spun around so lower body rather than head & upper body went under wheels & were crushed”

But the poor driver has a JOB & family so of course escapes jail for nearly killing her. 🤯
