[QUOTE="Josh, post: 11987, member: 16"] … our ministries stuffed up again. Kiwi Fruit Lamb & wool Fisheries Quota Forestry Not charging sufficient tourist tax Not having regional taxation/GST to support busy tourist communities with small rateable populations Not spending enough on medical staff to retain the experienced staff already here, instead trying to get bargain subpar overseas staff. Not prosecuting, fining and ruining bee keepers who repeatedly fail to abide by AFB rules/standards Are some that spring to mind immediately (had to check myself there… almost went on a full rant 😅) Now we can add Manuka Honey. The second it blew up, it should have been trademarked and protected. Just like coca-cola and the curved bottle, Cadbury chocolate’s purple colour and Darth Vader’s breath sounds. In fact the smart thing to do would be to recognise it’s not trademarked… do so, and buy the domain names etc, and make a killing selling it back 💩 FYI - I checked already… they’re gone. [/QUOTE]
