1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: It's a good news for farmers. As Haywakano is dead, 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: the farmers aren't going to be put into the ETS 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: and a new way of measuring emissions will need to 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: be found. Of course, they're in New Zealand. CEO Campbell 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: Parkers with us. Campbell morning to you, morni wake, how 6 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: are you very well? Indeed? Thank your common sense arrives 7 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: at last? Is that how you see it? 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: Olin? This has been signaled for some time and it's 9 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: good to have the clarity and to have a day 10 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: test when it will be removed. So we welcome the 11 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: announcement yesterday. 12 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: How real was hawakanoa? In other words, it was purported 13 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: by the previous government that everyone was come by holding 14 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: hands and you're all in this together. Was that ever true? 15 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: I wasn't in my role at the time, Mike, but 16 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: from what I hear, talking with people is a huge 17 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: amount if they went into hear what you can are 18 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: And unfortunately it stalled and didn't progress. But certainly as 19 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: an industry we want to own the issues and have 20 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: an input into that. So we look forward to the 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: new group that's set up, the new pastoral group, and 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: you know we're ready to work actively on behalf of 23 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: farmers in that space. 24 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: Has enough in general been put on the fact farmers 25 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: are extremely good at what they do. They're not idiots. 26 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: They don't want to burn the planet down, and that 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: should be taken into account. 28 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we also need to ensure we're using the most 29 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: appropriate and up to date science in this whole discussion. 30 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: You know, targets are targets, and you know, farmers want 31 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: to do the right thing and make progress towards you know, 32 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: more efficient production, profitable production, and good environmental outcomes, but 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: they do need clarity around the policy settings. So that's 34 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: what we're looking forward to. 35 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: Are you optimistic you'll get there? Can get there? Oh? 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: Look, I am optimistic. I'm an optimistic person. And you know, 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: I think we've got to work incredibly hard on behalf 38 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: of farmers to get what I would call enduring policy 39 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: in place, because otherwise we get stuck in a cycle. 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: And when farmers have clarity and we get enduring policy, 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: they will invest in the things that they need to 42 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: to improve their farms. And you know, understand here at 43 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: field Days and you know, it's a great example of 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: farmers that will adopt innovation and continue to, you know, 45 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: push forward and do a great job producing high quality product. 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: You know that the world demands. 47 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. We've talked to Peter Nation in a 48 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: couple of moments, got a good vibe there at the moment. 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: Yes, just it's just clearing, so it's a little bit 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: hard to tell, but it's very busy. I've come outside 51 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: and found a quiet spot. And you know farmers, you know, 52 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: always come to field days. I think we'll have a 53 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: busy Wednesday and Thursday. The weather looks a little bit, 54 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: you know, in clement on Friday, but we cannot forget 55 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: a critical role that farmers play in the economy. You know, 56 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: twenty five billion with exports from dairy to the end 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: of April this year. And you know, when farmers do well, 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: communities do well. In New Zealand does well. So we 59 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: look forward to the next couple of days talking to 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: a few of them. 61 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: Good stuff, well said, you go well, Campbell Parker, who's 62 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: the DAAR in New Zealand CEO.
