Yes, instead of being negative about it, we could promote the number of deaths in an aspirational way. Treat it like GDP - the more the better. It's a sign of a vibrant economy.

Seems like a good move. It's a crap dynamic at this point. Maybe later we could re-federate once the numbers aren't so skewed. If people from there feel the need to discuss NZ issues they still have options. They can join here. They can make their own NZ sub if NZ issues are so important to them.
Obviously it is impossible for Aldi to open stores in New Zealand as long as it remains a nation apart.
What should this new nation be named, New Aldistan?
I wonder if some of those cost increases are boosting the Australian parent's revenues? I've seen some house branded stuff go up in price significantly compared to competing products.
Never did like those flags. Shame no one came up with a compelling design. Perhaps it wasn't the time?
In terms of providing fat/protein for processed food, agree that it is probably a sunset industry. Milk powder will become lab 100% or close to that.
Old-school dairy will still exist, for things like boutique cheeses. Terrior is important in that market. The fonterra model of pumping out mega-tonnes of generic product is irrelevant. Those who want to remain dairy farming should be forming relationships with individual cheese makers and developing cheeses that reflect their locality.
As factory created protein takes over, there will be more focus on "destination" food experiences as a way for land based farmers to carry on. Tourism and dining with farm visits to see a cow, that sort of thing. $$$. Most people won't bother, just stick to product for their dietary needs.
You are 100% correct. The actual market response in this case is "prices set to FALL in respose to retail slump".
Our media is economically illiterate (or paid to print this crap).
Great performance - managed to get the car home in one piece in challenging conditions.
Hope he gets more opportunities.
