Another white bloke in charge, groundbreaking 🙄
Colin seems like a good bloke but farmers need to wake up and diversify or we're all gonna be stuffed in five years.
to criticise from your couch mate. Have you ever actually worked on a farm?
Great another farmer who'll cry about the environment while spraying glyphosate everywhere. Get f ed.
yeah nah get stuffed, we gotta hold them accountable not clap like seals
I wonder if he'll focus on actual rural issues or just sign up to the next government handout. Probably the latter.

Just what we need, another person who thinks owning land makes you an expert on the economy. Wake up mate.
Good on him. Farming is bloody hard work and we need people who actually know what they're doing at the top.
lol classic farmer victim mentality
Colin's a decent man, done a lot for South Canterbury. Hope he brings that same energy nationally.
old same old. Hope he proves me wrong. His wife makes good jam though.
Wayne Langford couldn't get the job done so here's another one. Maybe they'll actually sort out freshwater this time?
but what about water rights? That's the elephant in the room.
I'm just glad it's not another politician. Let the farmers sort their own mess out for a change.
all these comments and nobody mentioning the drought support? guess it's easier to just bag the new guy.
agree, the guy deserves a chance before everyone writes him off
mate, we've seen this movie before. Not holding my breath.
