After Fonterra trash their social license, why trust Business NZ to sign India free trade deal?
We have just seen how Fonterra trashed their social contract with us by selling out any pretence of value added while forcing us to pay international prices against population demands we can never compete with.
So why would we trust Business NZ to sign the India Free Trade Deal?
Businesses, Luxon, call on parties to ‘get on board’ with the India FTA
BusinessNZ placed the ads, featuring an open letter to political parties, in The Post and NZ Herald on Monday. The letter was co-signed by 28 other organisations, including major exporters like Zespri and representative groups such as Federated Farmers and New Zealand Winegrowers.
“The reduction in barriers secured in this FTA will directly benefit sectors such as horticulture, sheep meat, seafood, wine, honey, wood products, seeds and natural fibres, machinery, digital technology, and services, unlocking new opportunities for growth,” the letter reads.
“We call on all parties across Parliament to uphold New Zealand’s bipartisan approach to trade by supporting the agreement.

Why would we trust them in anything they are claiming?
We still haven’t seen the actual terms yet!
Why trust them when their ensure their interests are looked after and not ours?
Labour has every right to hold up this process until they see safeguards to ensure NZ workers are not disadvantaged!
No one has explained what is the benefit to NZ from an FTA with India?
The benefit to India is the over-immigration means India can extract $billions in remittances back to India from all the migrants it sends here? How does that enrich Kiwis?
Why are 4 out of 10 migrants from India? Do Indians have skills other nations don’t have or something?
If you want an actual multicultural society you have 1 migrant from Naru, 1 from India, 1 from Belgium, 1 from Canada, 1 from Sierra Leone, 1 from Holland, 1 from Scotland, 1 from Chile, 1 from Singapore, 1 from Russia, 1 from Singapore, 1 from Samoa – thats a melting pot. You dont have 40% from India and 30% from China. India is just 1 out of 195 countries. Who asked kiwis if its a good idea to take most of the immigrants from just 2 countries?
Immigrants from India buy their jobs here. Boss Indian immigrants sell the jobs and rip off the next wave of Indian migrants. It always seems to be Indian bosses in liquor stores, cleaning companies, indian restaurants, petrol stations that are in court for not giving staff a kiwi Fair Go. I could be wrong but it looks like Indian bosses have a policy of not employing maori and pakeha.
All the fake language schools that arranged for student visas to turn into fake job, work visas and then later with a bit of “Chef” at McDonalds work secured bring over parents and grandparents for state supplied health care.
Then there are all the jugaad real estate agent scams!
Why are all the dairies now being run by Indians? Did Indians undercut all the 50 year old pakeha women who used to run the dairies? How come no Maori and Samoan and Pakeha run dairies now? Do Indians only sell dairies to other indians – is that a thing? It looks like its a thing? Is the same scenario playing out amongst moteliers in Queenstown, Rotorua and the rest of NZ?
Is the Indian culture really compatible with NZ culture? Is it a good thing or is it a bit too much?
Watch your mouth Martyn.
These are the big brained Biz Bro’s Trevor and his ilk believe we should worship.
Those titans of industry who will apparently sign a contract without reading it and expect everyone else to do the same.
Hey Trev, wanna stick your oar in to defend these big brave captains of industry? They seem barely literate so you’ll fit right in.
I am not necessarily against free trade agreements although like you have said we do not know enough about what this one contains. The apparent immigration disguised as education is particularly concerning although I doubt that the dairy sector will gain anything useful as well. I can see Indian dairy companies being able to exploit some loophole to profit selling NZ products into the Indian market however the main effect in NZ is likely to be increased pollution.
Until Luxon ‘admits’ the full details of his failed India Free Trade deal, no one should help him sign this off. He is playing his usual deceitful game with the nondisclosure of key elements because it contains ‘onerous terms’ which show just how dishonest and corrupt he really is. He believes everyone else is of lesser intellect than he is so won’t see through his smoke and mirrors. He is a lying, deceitful apology for a man, not worthy of leading a political party and certainly no PM material. Way past time for him to be booted out!
I’m sending Luxon an unsigned copy of the Art of the Deal. Such ideas, respected by millions, people are saying, will provide dear leaders with a valuable set of tools. We want the best deal anyone has ever seen and Luxy with this business bible is the man to deliver.
