NICOLA GRIGG (National—Selwyn): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to draw to the House's attention a headline in a local newspaper in mid-Canterbury talking about the harvest from hell. Mid-Canterbury arable farmers have suffered this year the harvest from hell. Yes, some of it has been weather-related. It's been a cold, wet summer. But I would also contend that the harvest from hell has been exacerbated by the Government from hell. The farming sector of New Zealand has spent the last two years screaming into a wind tunnel, asking this Government to prick up its ears and start listening to it. For two years now, New Zealand's largest export sector has been screaming out for border exemptions for critical workers like vets, like contractors, like shearers, like viticulturists, like grape pickers, and like dairy support workers. Dairy New Zealand asked this Government for an exemption for 1,500 essential workers to come in. What did it come up with? It allowed for 300 to come in. Tim Mackle put out a statement today, and he's absolutely right, he said this sort of understaffing "Increases the risk of accidents and … puts animal welfare at risk." In terms of mental wellbeing, it is a health and safety issue.
