We beat inflation … yeah right! - Monetary policy impacts on NZ

Marlborough Federated Farmers made a strong submission in 2007 to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee inquiry into the operation of monetary policy.  They are extremely concerned at its impact on the health and survival of the sheep and cattle industries.

Kel Sanderson accepted the invitation of Chairman Geoff Evans to give a presentation to the Marlborough Federated Farmers AGM in Blenheim 2 May 2008.  This was based on the BERL 2007 submissions to the same Finance and Expenditure Select Committee inquiry, and drew a lot of interest and questions from the audience.
