Could someone remind me what post of mine that you are referring to? Either I've forgotten, or am being attributed with posting stats that I did not actually post. I normally refrain from participating in this thread, just a lurker & reader.
Withdraw and apologise - it was Blue Skies' post I was referring to, not one of yours.
Given it was a useful post I hope I didn't hurt too many feelings :

Need or want?
The market shows that they want the former and needs don't count.
And the market is saying that it wants NZ food products as well. So why are we hammering our farmers when they produce these products efficiently? Here a cattle beast eats grass in a paddock, over there grain gets trucked to some massive barn full of cattle beasts.
We don't have a dome over NZ : the world is an inter-connected place.
It's the same mentality that has us closing coal mines here, and importing shiploads of coal from Indonesia. Are we really going to kid ourselves that this makes us 'cleaner & greener'?

We are with you, LN.
Unfortunately we need the world to buy our produce more than the world needs us to buy from them.
And we have a government with zero experience in selling NZ’s compelling competitive advantage as a farming nation.
Between actually calling the Police racist and funding gangs, this administration is really doing its best to prevent violence.
And don't forget that prisoners (especially Maori gang members in prison) must be treated with particular sensitivity and their rights are more important than that of the victims.
