Mmmm.....except NZ is the biggest importer of palm kernal cake so it makes a lot of sense to target us.
Any economic disincentive to stop razing hardwood forests has to be a good thing. We don't do it. The Ozzies don't do it. Why encourage Asian nations? We all live on the same planet.
Good! I can use some burley.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
We only use it cause its cheaper to use a by product of palm oil plantations, which once were tropical rainforest, than buying feed grain off Kiwi farmers...
Why do we buy it ? Because for some reason or three we cant grow any or enough feed in our own country any longer . I wonder why that is![]()

Because we get it for about $200 a tonne, 99% dry matter cheapest feed by a long shot. you can just use it when you need it, not like having thousands of dollars of sylage sitting there in a stack.
I was on the fence on this until I saw Greenpeace vs Fonterra on both channels this morning.
Arrogant @#$@@(#$'s.
Port of Tauranga want to charge them with Piracy. Excellent.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Talk like a pirate day is on Saturday. Me 'earty.
You will be very disappointed then with the governments decision to only levy an average of $3.50 per family in carbon charges.
I understand that to meet Greenpeace emission targets we will have to reduce carbon emissions by 40%. There is no way taking $3.50 out of peoples pockets will do that !
I'd suggest that figure be revised. How about $200 - $350 a week ?
Then the poor people wouldn't be able to afford cars or electricity, milk or beef.
Now THAT would put us seriously on target for a 40% reduction.
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.
i bet they wouldnt take on a ship in china, wonder why that would be
Y'know Sarge, I always had the impression from your posts that you were reasonably intelligent. So I'm assuming the comment above is wilful bullshit.
'Cos the alternative is you're an idiot, which would be a surprise.
Yup, the watered down ETS is indeed an inadequate response. In fact I don't think the Nats have any clue of how to deal with this, nor any willingness to work it out.
Redefining slow since 2006...
