Thank you Mike Chapman, Chief Executive of NZ Kiwifruit Growers Inc for assuring our community that spraying is safe. However, at an age where politicians assurances are worth very little, for the sake of the community, I ask respectfully that an independent test on the impact of these chemicals on the environment be carried out.
With your confidence and assurances I trust you will endorse such an endeavour so we can all sleep safer at night.
Looking forward to further discussion on this matter.

Rangi Ahipene, Omokoroa.
