Mr. English has no idea what he is talking about!!! He should get his facts right...

NZ buys 25% of the worlds supply of palm oil kernals? Then we are condoning the use of palm oil usage.Surly there must be an alternative.Fonterra is the most money hungry company that NZ has ever had the misfortune to be associated with they don't give a continental about anything or anyone but profit. It's cheaper to buy coke than milk and our children are suffering because of them. Bill.

That guys a complete PRICK! I do not support deforestation in tropical areas. And I am now going to boycott meat and milk until I know that it is clear that we are going to ban palm oil being used as animal feed. Climate change should be our number 1 priority now. And support keeping the whole earth clean.

Watch the interview with Conor English, the guy is a first class twit. He rambles on about Greenpeace 'hating cows' and refuses to believe that palm kernal extract is driving deforestation, despite the fact that every year NZ buys a quarter of the world's production.

The use of palm kernels is a valid concern, however, this doesn't justify greenies resorting to civil disobedience to achieve their objectives. If they're willing to break the law so readily, who knows what extremes they'll go to if things don't go their way?

Well, thankfully, none of the protestors got hurt when being forcibly removed from the ship. We should all be grateful for small mercies.

I do not agree with this rally that is going on. Cows need PKE to be able to produce the amount of milk that they do. If we didnt have PKE the dairy industry would suffer badly. I am a dairy farmer and i support most things that greenpeace do but not this. if you guys wanna pay to import milk, do so with your own money. we are just trying to make a living like everyone else. just because cows shit and eat dosnt mean you have to pick on us.you should try getting up at 4am every morning and milking hundreds of cows. then you will appreciated what we do for NZ

Go about business as usually, if these pirates fall off or get squashed in the process then too bad. Hope they enjoy a Tasman crossing lashed where they are. Room ten, where do you come up with 2012? research points towards 2023.

We think they should stop using things that contain palm oil or palm kernels. Have you realised that in 2012 the orang-utans will all be dead. Fonterra need to start using other products. Room 10 Year 3 and 4 children
