Groundswell leader Bryce McKenzie said the allegations were ‘’totally untrue”.
”How could the man say that? We’re definitely not anti-vax, we’ve never said anything about vaccination and in fact Laurie [Paterson] and I are both vaccinated.
”We’ve also just accepted the resignation of a man who made a racial slur because it didn’t fit with our group. He resigned from Groundswell before he resigned from the board at Tatua.’’
[…] “Groundswell represents tens of thousands of everyday Kiwis concerned about the avalanche of red tape being imposed on farmers. Never has a politician looked down on the people paying the bills like this, stereotyping farmers the way Labour judges others for doing.’’
O’Connor and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern have previously declined to meet with Groundswell leaders on two separate occasions.
