Yeah it not a good look, in fact it pisses me off. Once again politics and big business gets in the way of securing the future for our kids and grandkids.

Re: 100% Pure, you've gotta be joking
I can’t swim in my local swimming hole anymore because the Ministry of the Environment says the water quality is too poor thanks to intensive agricultural run-off.
Our lack of traction on environmental issues in this country isn't a next generation issue any more, it’s impacting our quality of life now. This is a pretty sparsely populated country and I have to think if we can’t get a handle on our environmental problems now, as a country, on a national level, we have little chance of preserving our lifestyle here. I'm not urging everyone to go back to living in caves but i would ask you to consider environmental management a higher political priority than it is currently. Fair? |

So with John Key wanting to sell farm land (and the pollution that comes with it) and rivers to all and sundry, and only the Maori determinedly fighting these sales in order to sustain quality of the natural resources.
Who is supporting these sell offs to foreign investors who have no vested interest in the quality of life here? Don't believe the 51% that is to be sold to "Mums and Dads" will stay in their hands once a quick buck can be made. |

Re: 100% Pure, you've gotta be joking
The problem is NZ has only one industry worth speaking of...Dairy farming.
The farmers, while preaching one thing are doing the other, they dont give a damn about anything much apart from their Fontera payout. There are Rivers here that are more polluted than the Ganges. |

Its because of money! |
Re: 100% Pure, you've gotta be joking
....and the reason for selling is?
Would you rather the earnings stayed in NZ or went to China? |
