Rural backlash under way?

Julian tells me he senses "a growing backlash by rural New Zealanders against bureaucrats of both local and central government." Are the news reports he posts in support of that question evidence enough to demonstrate such an encouraging sign? Are the meddling bureaucrats in trouble? Or might this be wishful thinking?

It takes a while to really piss cockies off (we are isolated from much of the rest of the country after all - especially here in southland) but things happen when we are.

NZ history has some good examples of rural protest - the 1913 waterfront strike for instance. And I'll tell you this now: The microchipping law is a dead duck.
