I have a lot of hate for nz farmers but I'm gonna defend them here because i think they are on the right side of the issue. What I assume you're referencing was the biomethane reduction targets. Those were stupid and should be opposed, nz is well within its means when it comes to emissions and biomethane is very short lived compared to co2. Asking farmers to reduce their output by 10-25% is insane because we know it would require reducing production. We can't have a purist environmental target while trading with china otherwise we are just cucks destroying our own economy in favour of buying it from someone who does the most environmental damage.

Government should repair the roads, its what they are there to do.

Not throwing shade here, but i don't know a single person (farmer or not) in a disaster situation that would not want the government to fix the roads, maybe a road is not fixable... but if i had a apartment, house, cottage, batch, farm at the end of a road i would like the council/government to fix the road to my place, if they couldn't that would be a big deal and i would be unhappy. The individuals affected by this may have supported or opposed climate action, it doesn't change their current situation that they are still in.

There are many thousands of people affected by the damage to that road and I'd rather hear from any of them before hearing from the group that contributed to causing that damage.

The article mentions nothing about climate change

Yeah you're going to have to take a look at the world around you for that bit of context.
