[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 11975, member: 13"] Of course I was waiting for someone to say that. But to me, Champaign is a place in France same as Manuka is a plant in NZ. Both come down to a name on a bottle representing what is within, and where it comes from. The word Manuka may have been taken to Australia many years ago by some Kiwis and occurred very occasionally as a street name or whatever, but it's rare, can betcha 99% of Aussies did not know what Manuka was before the honey got famous. In addition, the Aussies are making out like we are trying to stop them selling their honey. We are not, we are very happy for them to sell their honey. It's taking a free ride on the name that NZ has spent the time and money promoting is the problem. Only money Aussies have put in is fighting in court to steal what we have worked for and created, taking the fruits of NZ'ers labors out of our hands, and transferring it to Aussies who did not work for it.
