Communists aren’t all crazy – I was a communist when I was 13 …

You would think so, but the people that are intent on slandering the Fonterra heads are most often anti-capitalists, communists, and similar moonbats.

Anyone who has worked in a large organisation – or seen one – would surely realise that blaming the Fonterra Chiefs for this sort of thing is ridiculous!

Indeed. After seeing what our media did with it though – I feared that we were being blamed for it in China.

I seem to remember that after the incident there was a poll in China asking about safe destinations for food imports, and we were still very high. I guess the Chinese consumer could see the difference – which is nice.

They will probably turn up here eventually and spout some nonsense about an information pack giving the chinese perpetrators the Kiwi green light to ignore safety standards. These people are lunatics and I hope this comment will see them off when they do arrive.

There was never any suggestion that Fonterra was to blame for the contamination, and it was through Fonterra’s contacts with the NZ govt that the issue was raised and became public. While there was a serious risk that Fonterra’s name could have been tainted, this was outweighed by the ethical imperative to not become part of the cover-up, and there was potential reputational gain from being the whistle blower. This news also demonstrates that despite the disaster, Fonterra and other international brands are substantially more trusted than local ones. I endorse Fonterra’s intention to remain active in China; in the end it will be stronger than ever in that market.
