Great work Greenpeace. The basic issues being addressed here is social justice, human rights and environment degradation. How dare Fonterra and conservative farmers justify associating NZ with such a shocking blantanly unsustainable and human rights violating industry such as the Palm Oil Industry.

As well as the whole environment thing, I am more concerned about the diseases this palm kernel could bring into new zealands cattle, which are disease free at the moment. If our dairy cows get some asian disease then what. There are alot of dairy farmers that dont use palm kernel, just good old fashioned grass, and produce just as much milk.

I'm with you Annon - maybe ships fire hoses on them 'til they decide to get off. If they want to save a rainforest you'd think they'd target a primary product like - oh I don't know - wood from its felling! The mung beans and dope must have impacted their common sense. Is the silly girl still on the anchor chain? Drop anchor I say.
