More shafting in the name of profit

Another thing this bill still stomps on is home-made jams, preservatives, honeys, pickles, relishes etc

True it does ... but only that put up for sale ... For personal, or family/friends consumption, there is no issue ...

Thin edge of the wedge. Why does it need to be regulated? What is the harm to society of the current system? Has there been a dramatic upsurge in people requiring radical emergency, or long term ongoing health care from the consumption of goods bought from cottage vendors?

As recently as this week we have seen that NZ authoritahs do not have, or do not use discretion. Even the cyclist's lobby group have said that Becker guy was a fall guy.

This will just be more unnecessary bureaucracy that will ensnare ordinary citizens, and will just be a financial burden to the rest of us.

Really, what will this legislation address? In plain english in as few sentences as possible, rather than the party line.


The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

think you should recheck what "sale" means under this law

In the "interests of public safety" ...

Aside from the fact that public makets, have sold produce that put people in hospital .... and at this stage (with what I have read) ... ANY action taken initially against the "market" type produce is by way of "information leaflets" given to them at the time. (AND put on a register ... so they are "on record" as having recieved the information)

I'm no lawyer ... but I assume "or reward" ...
