David takes Agriculture Minister Jim Anderton to task over his politically motivated criticisms of a proposed 'mega merger' for the sheep and beef industry.

"To leave the sheep and beef industry in the crisis it is now is not an option. This is a $5 billion industry for New Zealand and I can assure you that the National Party is not going to see that industry fall over because Mr Anderton wants to play petty politics with it."
