A petition calling for Government buildings to be fitted out exclusively with wool carpets is finally set to be presented to Parliament.
It follows a decision to fit more than 600 rural schools with US-made synthetic carpet which has drawn the ire of many farmers, including Canterbury farmer Angela Blair, who started a petition.
A similar petition led by Amy Blaikie had already reached 15,000 signatures back in 2020, but due to an admin error, it was never presented to Parliament.
Angela Blair will now present her petition before the house is suspended for the election, saying the Government claims it wants to back the wool industry but its actions don't back that up.
