"It's the access without notice or permission clauses that will really grate with farmers," he added though.
"It's a non-fix for a non-existent problem.
"Willy nilly access to farm properties, which are generally also the owning family's home, seems to be a flavour of the moment.
"Whether it's Fish & Game people taking a weekend off from running down our sector to access waterways, visitors to the High Country treating private farm land as the national estate, and now MPI inspectors not even needing a warrant or reason to search and seize, farming families' quiet enjoyment of their land appears to be up for grabs."
Teachers too
The early childhood education sector doesn't like the proposed industrial law changes either, according to National MP Nicola Willis.
Many ECE providers saw the changes are impractical and unreasonable, with the potential to compromise the care provided to children, she said.
"The proposed changes would give union representatives the right to walk into childcare services without warning or background checks. This is simply not acceptable," Ms Willis said.
"In addition to the significant disruption this would pose to parents and teachers, it seems to conflict with the intent of the Vulnerable Children's Act, which requires educators to undergo safety checks before working in an ECE service.
"The Early Childhood Council and others have raised concerns about new provisions allowing the Employment Relations Authority to require workers to be reinstated after an unjustified dismissal.
"Children's safety must be paramount. While all centres should follow appropriate dismissal process, and provide remedies where they fall short, they must have the right to say no to a worker returning to work if they believe it will put children's wellbeing at risk.
"In addition to these serious concerns for child safety, the proposed employment law changes ignore the practical realities of childcare services," she added.
"How, for example, are childcare services meant to implement prescribed timing for meal and rest breaks without compromising adult to child ratios or their ability to serve children's needs?"
