"Kiwis not getting a raw deal" on butter prices

[harm_less]

Factor in though, the very bad PR Fonterra and the industry is reaping from this. More fodder for those pesky Greenies calling for responsible climate change mitigation strategies to be put on the lot of them...

If this government does turn out to be a oncer,  those birds are likely to come home to roost.

yea be fantastic if labour and their coalition mates get hold of the chequebook again

Damn right. It would be far better than the current government's locking the cheque book in the bottom drawer with the economy nose diving as a result. The arse is falling out of the retail, manufacturing and social services sectors with hundreds of Kiwi's heading overseas daily at present while the country's infrastructure is starved for maintenance and upgrades by Nicky No Boats and her cronies. Next wake up call will be our defaulting on emissions targets with the export restrictions, and now potentially legal repercussions, from our neighbours and major trading partners.

Turning our economic circumstances around is going to take a totally fresh approach and definitely won't happen overnight, or in a single government term.
