Abstract

New Zealand’s projection of a ‘clean green’ image made exports vulnerable if its environment was perceived to be degraded. The phrase ‘dirty dairying’ represented environmentalists’ concerns about farm effluence disposal. Water in agriculturally developed regions were in poor condition through animal faecal contamination. The dairy industry, regional councils and the Government agreed to work together to improve water cleanliness. But environmentalists saw major flaws in the plans. Federated Farmers took steps to improve water quality, collaborating with other primary sectors to implement a Primary Sector Water Action Plan. But when the Government announced regulations for achieving healthy waterways. Federated Farmers claimed the regulations were an example of an ill-informed process resulting in a bad outcome.
