It will take 80 years to clean up the Waikato River.

well on the subject of self sufficiency as a country, we could require that food producers in New Zealand be required to sell a percentage of their product into the New Zealand market, in a pitiful attempt to break this link to the international prices...

I mean at some point, when people are starving in NZ or can't afford healthy food, it seems stupid to be sending food off shore...

I imagine there are plenty of holes with this plan though...

Its messed up when we have to pay $18 for a block of cheese and yet its a fraction of the price in Australia or the UK for the same product.
