National is promising to end what it calls 'Labour's war on the farming sector'. It's announcing policy this morning promising to double the RSE worker cap to 38,000 people, and create a path to residency through the Accredited Employer Work Visa. It will also remove two agriculture regulations for every new one introduced, under a new 'two for one' rule. Leader Chris Luxon told Tim Dower foreign investment in farms to convert to forestry for carbon farming would also be banned. He says the practice permanently alters the land and leaves those farms unavailable for young farmers to buy. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
