Oh Jesus Christ I love this story so much!
Government considers u-turn on baby formula rules after industry shift
Ok. Here’s the background.
NZ makes basic bitch milk powder with zero added value because all milk powder is basic bitch level nothingness.
NZ has tried to create brands to provide extra value to our Dairy, but the real money is in basic bitch milk powder so much so, that Fonterra is dumping all their Dairy Brands just to focus on basic bitch milk powder because that’s where all that ‘we feed 50 million’ bullshit goes to, the heavily manufactured food industry where our basic bitch milk powder is used as a base line ingredient.
SO.
One way NZ has tried to generate extra revenue is our bullshit infant milk formula that is sold as magical milk.
This marketing is emotionally manipulative bullshit because all milk powder is good for infants, what we have tried to do is make magical milk, sell it as magical milk while knowing new parents will pay any price for magical milk.
Selling our basic bitch milk powder as magical milk for infants is a despicable manipulation of new parents, but we don’t give a fuck because all NZ has now is basic bitch milk powder that is mutton dressed up as lamb.
So far, so good, but then as the story link at the top explains, NZ magic milk liars have heavily lobbied the thick ACT Party Framer thug to pull NZ’s magical milk for infants OUT of the Australia/NZ Formula rules on how you can market basic bitch milk powder as magical milk…
The government is considering signing up to Trans-Tasman rules on baby formula – after rejecting them amid industry lobbying.
This potential policy shift follows a change of heart from formula companies, including major players Danone and The a2 Milk Company, who had previously campaigned against the standards.
These companies now support opting in to the regulations and have dropped all opposition to restricting specialist formulas to pharmacies – one of the major sticking points during the standards’ drafting.
The proposed standards, developed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand over more than a decade, aim to update 20-year-old regulations and tighten rules on misleading product claims.
New Zealand initially opted out, citing concerns over potential harm to its $2 billion annual infant formula exports.
…but here’s the joke.
The magical milk liars who lobbied the ACT Party Farmer Thug have realised at the very last moment that by lobbying to get their bullshit magical milk for babies out of the formula rules means they won’t be able to sell the milk in Australia!!!
An RNZ investigation revealed extensive lobbying by a handful of formula companies, who argued the changes would negatively impact their exports and profits, and would threaten their continued presence in New Zealand.
The companies, led by Danone and a2, bombarded senior ministers with emails, letters, surveys and even legal advice, as well as having at least six meetings with Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard in the six months leading up to the decision late last year.
Alongside the proposal to restrict “medical” formula sales to pharmacies, the companies also disagreed with changes that would have prevented them from being able to list ingredients or milk protein fractions on the front labels of formula tins.
Following New Zealand’s decision to opt out of the joint standards, the government announced it would look at creating its own standards.
But the Ministry for Primary Industries is now looking at how it can join back in and negotiate an exemption with Australia on the labelling restrictions that formula companies opposed, RNZ understands.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
THESE FUCKING SCUM BAGS SELLING BASIC BITCH MILK POWDER AS MAGICAL MILK WHO HAVE LOBBIED THEIR ACT PARTY FARMER THUG HAVE INADVERTENTLY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT!
Australian academic Julie Smith, who researches the lobbying activities of infant formula companies, said Danone and a2 Milk dominated the specialised medical formulas market in New Zealand, but had probably realised they would be able to sell their products through online pharmacies instead.
She also questioned the likelihood of New Zealand getting a modification to the labelling standards if it were to opt back in.
“If it’s evidence-based, then zero chance, because it’s been well established that this promotion of products is effective in marketing formulas and affecting parents’ decisions.
“But if it comes down to industry power over officials and ministers, then I’d say the chances are very good,” the Australian National University professor said.
“It’s a problem for our democracy when our health policies and what’s going into our babies mouths is not determined by evidence about what’s good for them, it’s determined by marketing.
“People will be shocked if they realise just how much of what we eat is determined by that sort of lobbying.”
Oh fuck this is beautiful, look at the thick Farmer Thug look on Boss Hogs face…
…this could not have happened to a more venal bunch of arseholes!
Hahahaha.
I can’t stop laughing!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Nice. Summary. Of. The. Overall. Intelligence. Of. New. Zealand. Big. Business.
aND THE HOGS MRS WAS ONE OF THE LOBBYISTS .Now he has to go back and grovel to get an agreement with Aussies again .Two years wasted because his mrs said no sex till you can the labels .
What a fucken joke no wonder farmers are seen as hill billies .
So Mrs Hog was lobbying Mr Hog sounds like hogwash
The above is essentially the problem with farming and agriculture in general.
Most farmers have little or no idea what the fuck it is that’s financially and strategically wrong with their chosen professions. They just farm. They know that something’s wrong but when you’re miles away from your nearest other farmer you just must simply get on with nurturing the entity that is the living organism that is your farm. They get out of bed, get dressed, usually, then head out into their bliss. Their farms.
Meanwhile, abusive bombastic loser-farmer narcissists like The Hoggster have other vectors from which they sate their urges. Say hello to the Hoggster. He’s just another crook. A big dumb thug and farming is teaming with them.
The number of farmers who went on to become National Party members is indicative of a systemic disease that haunts good farmers like genital herpies but without the kissing. They strip down to their budgie smugglers then bathe in the blood sweat and tears of their neighbours.
@ Martyn Bradbury is similarly inclined because although MB is a journalist he fails to do due diligence and ends up with his foot in his mouth. No disrespect to the actual disease intended.
The huge urban fear is that real farmers, not just cowsploiters, will come to understand just how abused they’ve been by not only urban latte sniffers but their own kind and in turn faux bankster besties. The single most vital thing farmers can direct each other to then support each other within is unity. Then draft out the mongrels and cut their throats later in the killing shed. That, was a metaphor in case some of you get the right/wrong idea. I guess I’ll find out in tomorrows headlines.
P.S. @ MB. You do realise that dairying is a money laundering scam right?
Because how else :
NZ banks ‘some of the most profitable in the world’
“In a submission to the competition watchdog’s market study into the banking industry, the 2degrees founder claimed the *“average Kiwi household” would lose out between $450,000 and $1m over their lifetimes because of excess margins paid to the Australian-owned banks.
“Failed legislation in the 1980s and early ‘90s caused New Zealand savings banks to be sold for virtually nothing to Aussies. The results are haunting Kiwi regulators 30 years later,” he said.”

* Can I ask…? Where does ” the average kiwi household ” get their money from?
50,000 AO/NZ farmers of a gross population of 5.2 million earn %100 of our income therefore I have a question. What does the other 5,150,00 of you do to chip in? Other than bludge off farmers then whine about those same hands that feed you, what do you do? Drive pointlessly about in ugly cities in uglier, rapidly depreciating plasti-cars while fondling your egos doesn’t cut it as an explanation. Soz. Not soz.
Farmers? You’re ok. Stop crying. Here, have a tissue. This is what you do. Strike. Just do nothing. Plan ahead for one year of nothing.
No produce out your gate. Get in some groceries then shut the fucking door. After a month the beautiful people of Auckland’s leafy suburbs will be eating their own liposuction sludge.
More garbage.
Brilliant intelligent post Killer, probably why Bob didn’t understand it.
Hogs love rooting in garbage!
And now this, Bob the firsts friend…

Boss hog is an apt name for this act swine and what do you expect another sinister minister out of his depth and in there for the wrong reason.
But the NZ producers said they saved themselves the expense of having to produce new labeling, so its a big win.
Another back flip from the skin head gang g leader and his government
