Dear Fonterra and National Government
Sorry to see the putting all our cows in one Beijing paddock strategy has failed abysmally and that we should have focused on producing high end product here instead of once again being a source of raw ingredients.
Sorry but not sorry.
ANYWAY – just thought it was important that now your rush to Dairy has been such an economic – as well as environmental- clusterfuck, we could ask for our $400 million back.
You of course will remember folks, that National sold off 49% of our energy assets to gain $400 million dollars to invest into irrigation for more fucking dairy farms. Seeing as that plan has failed so spectacularly, can Fonteera and the National Government give us our $400 million back now? Or are the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind still in such lust with Key’s anti-intellectualism they’ll just forget this even happened?
Sigh. Probably the latter.
The sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind get the Government they deserve and the rest of us have to suffer for their stupidity.
MASSIVE VISUAL PICTURE MARTYN.
“Pictures say a thousand words” and this should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country it is brilliant.
This morning on RNZ National Bull-English said the farmers are to blame themselves as they over-invested in their own future dreams??????
Wasn’t it because the MSM and Steven/Goebbels Joyce though his spinning agency MBIE used the MSM to repeatedly claim “the Dairy industry was our golden future”????
Funny now that the dairy industry is now in tatters with bank projections that 44% of our dairy farms will default on their payments and loose their farms by 2018, we now see that Government is turning the blame onto farmers?????
Is Shonkey now finally ready to leave NZ for greener pastures now it is turning to custard and negative?
WE will place a “give a little” on the web for the ticket out of here with our hope now???
No exit for the guilty rorting MP’s tho’ and PM – court and jail I c.
On the bright side it is going to make building more irrigation dams difficult – however I think they are basically ponzi schemes the government will continue to throw tax payer money at.
Yes . The Government has been big on no dollars will be spent unless it shows an immediate return.
Remember Key , English and Joyce road blocking the construction of the Auckland underground and rail network.
No money would be given for funding until we reached x amount of patrons, foolishly not considering the slowing down of the city due to gridlock while they waited to reach their targets.
So, taking their own rules into consideration, let’s now see a journalist ask bumbling Bill what the return on the $400,000,000.00 dollars sunk into the giant river draining scheme is to date.
Not only will he have to show the current gross % yield , but also the nett yield after taking into account the eventual restorative costs to the degraded rivers , the paddocks, the local drinking water and Co 2 emissions.
He will also need to show 3 monthly projections for the next 5 years because you did think that far ahead didn’t you Bill?
Where is that link for the ‘give a little’ page @ cleangreen – I would like to donate a large sum.
Love the HORRIBLE HOSKING portrait keep them comming Martyn
Great campaign publicity material feel sorry for the cow though
Dear Mosa,
The cow has ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about!
Your sincerely
An-ex-farming-daughter-who-has-seen-the-size-of-a-real-bull-penis-and-extrapolates-this-to-Mike-Hosking’s.
The same assumptions he often makes about the poor and the left, I can also make about his girth and length.
The cow that Hosking is riding in the picture is a bit fantastical…it should be much skinnier, with protruding ribs & hip & pin bones, hoof problems & a broken tail…just keeping it real eh…
Off topic Can confirm that Mahesh Bindra is correct in what he has said. The Hindi translation does read ” tick the flag of New Zealand which you want to be the new flag” That would confuse people and make them think they will have to tick Lockwood’s design. Winston Peters is absolutely correct in his assertions, and that this amounts to rigging the vote in John key’s favour. The Hindi translation is very different from the Punjabi translation which reads “tick the flag which you want to be the New Zealand flag”
How many other nationalities have been incorrectly translated with incorrect misleading wording?
Dear Mike Hosking
If the cowshit hits the fan, and you have to bail John Key and the National Party out of the dairy kaka, will you sell the Ferrari and help crowd-fund a WRP wealth-relief-package?
Yours sincerely,

“As Fonterra prepares to lay off 750 staff, the firm has disclosed that chief executive Theo Spierings received a pay rise of up to 18 per cent – taking his pay to almost $5 million in the last financial year.
The dairy giant’s latest financial statements show its top-paid employee earned between $4.93 million and $4.94 million in the year to July 31.
That’s up from $4.17 million to $4.18 million in the previous year.
A Fonterra spokesman said Spierings’ latest salary figure was the value of his total salary package and included performance incentives earned in the previous financial year, when the company delivered farmers a record payout of $8.50 per kg of milk solids.
The spokesman said Spierings’ salary was based on international benchmarking and approved by the co-op’s people, culture and safety committee.
“Fonterra’s CEO salary is in the top band of New Zealand CEO salaries, which is to be expected when you consider Fonterra is New Zealand’s largest and only truly global company with a $18.8 billion turnover in that reporting year,” he said.
On Monday Fonterra announced that the number of job cuts resulting from a business review had risen to 750 from a previously announced figure of 523.
The company is under pressure to reduce costs as its farmer shareholders suffer financially from a slump in dairy prices.
Fonterra today reported a $506 million full-year profit, up 183 per cent on the previous year’s result.
It also raised its forecast payout for the current season.
The financial statements also show the number of Fonterra employees who were paid a salary of more than $1 million in the year to July 31 rose to 22 from 17 in the previous year.
The number of employees paid over $1 million had been falling over the last few years from 26 in the July 2012 year, to 21 in 2013.
According to employee remuneration figures in the company’s annual result, those paid a salary of $100,000 to $110,000 totalled 1072 in the year compared with 957 in the previous year.”
PSSST#1 Is any of this money money from asset sales?
PSSST#2 Instead of profit and payrises shouldn’t the money be going to farmers?
PSSST#3 When was the last time that any ordinary worker got an 18% pay rise?
PSSST#4 WTF?
Come on. Who in there right mind thought betting on sending most of our milk to a lactos intolerant nation (China) was a good idea in the first place, then double down on production.
Madness, stupid way to make money and dumb way to run a capitalist economy
It has always been the NWO Agenda to get people off the land and corralled into towns where it’s sooo easy to chemtrail for, let take a past example, apple moth! Tons of insecticide sprayed onto everyone and everything. Big business resulting for Big Pharma. Then comes, like Australia, mandatory vaccinations. Even Trump, who has my respect but not my vote speaks out against vaccinations. In the meantime, the land is purchased by the cabal mates who have mates who know mates. http://thecontrail.com/forum/topic/show?id=4744723%3ATopic%3A737746&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_topic
Enter the Chinese Elders who, with NESARA funding, have gold-backed countries so that no country is indebted to the cabal bankers. Now how does this play out for our farmers?
http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2016/01/global-currency-reset-and-more-3287528.html
It seems that their debts to the cabal bankers are no longer in line with the rules under which Key signed allegiance to the AIIB.
I think the Key Government is obliged to issue a debt forgiveness or face the consequences.
Time for an honest politician and lawyer to step forward on behalf of our farmers.
So now there are 1.2 billion cars in the world. But just heard on the news that cows are now the cause of global warming. WTF – don’t have a cow!
This will drop the payout to 1.21 per kg of milk solids (or whatever the going rate is).
And do you think that when farmers are forced off their land, there will be crowd funding to buy their land and gift it to DOC?
Or will wealthy mates of the “long rich crowd ” overseas, buy up NZ land?
” we should have focused on producing high end product here instead of once again being a source of raw ingredients. ”
The problem with that idea is that, that would remove the ticks and fleas and sundry other parasites lounging in the huge income stream derived from swindling farmers of the value of their product and swindling the NZ tax payer of taxes in the process. Couldn’t have that now could we BNZ ? Fay ? Richwhite? Bolger? Douglas?Kerr ( Writhe in Hell scum bag ) Brierly? Gibb? And let’s not forget the cadre of traitor farmers out there who sold out their neighbours for a mortgagee bargain neither?
No disrespect to actual ticks or fleas intended.
To be realistic, Hosking’s cow should be shitting in a river where some kids are swimming.
Ahh Bejaysus. The Fukin cows are the ones to blame. They don’t produce anything but milk. What happened to the promise of cows producing medicines and stuff. Their Fukin meat not even good for hamburgers. I once told a dairy company to take the condensate water off the evaporator a and extract the short chain fatty acids out of it. This stuff is then added back into whole milk powder to give reconstituted milk it’s natural flavour. These volatile short chain fatty acids are drawn off the milk under vacuum. Dumb shits didn’t listen. It was worth 1400 dollars a kilo back in the 1980s. TeRapa stood to make 10 million from it a year back then. But that’s Fonterra. Their own shit doesn’t stink or stick. It’s every other bastard that’s wrong. Walked into the cream separating room one early morning. Said to the young smart bastardised operator in the control room. “Any red flags come up”. Yeah he said I pushed the override button. Didn’t know what the fuck it was. ” I said well the pipes fallen off the cream line from the pasteuriser. You been pumping cream down the Waikato river for 8 hours. Dum fucks. Still happens today have a mate who works for the shits.
