As an industry we are at the mercy of whoever gets in to run the country. We know that the Government has done nothing for us over the last nine years and who is to say the next Government, whether it be a National lead coalition or a Labour lead coalition, will be any better.

The Federation has been vocal about what is needed to progress but it has fallen on deaf or disinterested ears. We are hoping New Zealand First will take into account proper leadership that will help industries to progress, because the Federation doesn’t want to waste time winding back the clock. We have always done what we said we would do and we don’t want to return to those tactics.
