Give me a break!

Luxon says “there is nothing more important to New Zealand than the rural sector.”

Rural people are increasingly drinking nitrate-contaminated water because the Govt fails to protect them from the dairy industry.

On its nitrate map, Greenpeace cites low concentrations of nitrate as being less than 1 mg/L.

But look at the level of poison they're drinking in Waimate. The council reports nitrate levels of 47mg/L but claims that's "safe" as the limit is apparently set at 50mg/L.

Can the council really claim that 47mg/L is "safe"?

Note that he said the rural 'sector'.
There's nothing in there about people. Companies are legal entities, too.
