Winston Peters blasts government and Fonterra

Was there really anybody in NZ that didn't see this coming - the way that Dairy was relentlessly expanding?

What about some accountability in the banking industry? - their reckless lending to aspiring dairy converters should be held to account FFS!

[Banditbandit]

Yes. Why does this country think it can continue to produce products that are already a glut on the world market .. and continue to make money.

People have been saying that for decades .. but our dumb primary industry sector just goes its merry way and then is shocked with Godzone can't sell its stuff ..

It'll all go someday... chip, chip, chip, chip, chip ...

Always with the financial solutions . Irony eh, the banking industry control the money supply for just about every person on the planet (including the < $1.25 folk), and we believe that a govt will somehow be able to hold them accountable. I know of 1 kind of govt that could achieve such a thing

Next people to be tried on the "accountability" front should be those who head the "Federal reserve" systems around the world - starting with the USA!

MMMMM, reminds me of a question I asked the other day. Is the transition to a Resource Based Economy an "out" for the corrupt and dishonourable? Win/Win

I Got Maced at Summer Jam 2015

"I heard a shout and a click, took a gulp of air, and closed my eyes. Then my face and hair and sweater were wet. My lungs and body started to burn. I held my breath and started running. People around me were screaming. I opened my eyes and was hit by a cloud of tear gas. I heaved shallow, gristly coughs as I ran clumsily forward, fumbling in a mist of hot, red pain. Everywhere burned. And then my ears exploded. The LRAD had been deployed."

"From news reports, it looks like people who attended Summer Jam enjoyed another year of hip-hop history being made. But the police reaction and the ensuing violence pose serious questions that are hard to answer. Why did the police escalate events? Why did officers deploy advanced hardware against a mostly peaceful gathering? A different kind of history was being written, once again."

WTF?

Notice how the whole world seems to be heading the same way as Israel and Gaza!

My minds eye picture of end of days is an Arab sitting on pile of Christian rubble with a Jew demanding a tax for his right to sit there FFS!

There is no real glut. The dairy cycle goes traditionally in a four year cycle its at it bottom at the moment. While NZ may be about 33% of the worlds traded dairy production, But we are only about 1 percent of the worlds total production.
The simple fact is if the tariffs placed on our imports into these markets by our trading partners and the subsidies that drive there marginally economic production in these same countries were removed there would likely be very little peaks and troughs.
Sorry if that does not fit into your philosophy but that is how it actually is. Note Farmers convert land to dairy away from Beef, sheep and cropping as it is the most financially productive land use.

If the comments on that page are anything to go by, they'll be lucky not to get lost on the way there

His fear is not only for the rich class, but the middle class as well; and subsequent collapse of the economy. All so the poor can get slightly poorer while bringing the rich down to their level. The rich certainly do not have a monopoly on greed, shortsightedness, and stupidity.
