John Key says we are paying more for our milk because "A price war at the moment in the UK is causing that."

I do not understand how this can be....

1403785 2015-06-29 00:21:00 Yep . JKey's spitting out FUD with that one .

So we are paying 'to much' , the govt doesnt control the price of milk . So why hammer the Govt & JKey over it
Stoping buying the stuff at the current and the price will drop . Simple .
Private businesses can charge what they want . Dont like it, dont buy it . Just how much milk do you really need per week ?

Then start whinging about all the dairy farmers going bankrupt and selling farms to Asians .
Im happy to pay an extra 50c-$1 a litre if it helps keeps farmers in business . Is milk really now so unaffordable ?

Let them eat cake instead :)

1403786 2015-06-29 00:54:00 Shearer is probably on the mark "Domestic milk is perhaps being used as a means to recoup profit being lost by international prices."

It's what they call milking the consumer :banana

What are you implying? . . . . That that nice Mr Key is not telling the truth . . . . Surely not! He's the Prime Minister after all .

1403789 2015-06-29 01:25:00 It will be NZ pricing being used to prop up farmers , who are suffering due to drops in int prices.
Think of it as a subsidy, laborites love subsidies, so shouldnt be an issue at all.
I call your banana and raise to 3 bananas :banana:banana:banana

1403792 2015-06-29 02:43:00 Yep, the idiots will always make a statement mean what they want it to mean........... Interesting comment really.

As per the article
Now the international price has dropped by half ... you would expect our milk price to go down, but it's actually gone up."

The Government needed to front up and explain why New Zealand milk prices were still high when in Australia and the UK they had dropped by 16 per cent

How do you read that ?

And there is nothing to look up, its a your own statement that says its different ?
