Stopping Dairy Expansion in Mackenzie

45 Greenpeace activists arrived at the site of Simons Pass dairy conversion in the Mackenzie Basin before dawn, some locking themselves onto diggers and trucks while others deployed a giant 80 by 25 metres banner reading, “Stop Dairy Expansion”.

The activists locked themselves to construction machinery being used to excavate tussock land for an irrigation pipeline to serve the Simons Pass mega-dairy conversion. Construction was stopped for nine hours.
