Dunno if Federated Farmers has farmed out its public relations to some outfit in India, or somewhere even more remote, at weekends.
The fury has sadly gone from a press statement issued this evening.
The bloke whose name is attached to the statement is not an Indian, of course, and may well want to boast it’s all his own work.
Alf’s would counsel him to plead confusion somewhere between drafting, sign-off and release, or crossed wires, and blame the distant PR team for placing so much emphasis on the bleeding obvious.
The press release (here) might just as well have declared that beer will spill if you drop your mug, or that the sun will rise again in the morning (in some parts of the country anyway).
