[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 3156, member: 13"] Hmm well I have not taken a look how it is made up lately. But my memory from the time is that at that time, commercials could be outvoted. How many votes for the board, cos you don't say. Even if it's only one, that with the others could equal the commercials, and if it's more than one (you say board votes - plural) the commercials could be outvoted. And that is how my memory serves me. You do not have it wrong you are quite correct, perhaps I should have said that but it was moot from the point I was making. However to clarify, the pressure at the time was not from packers, more something to do with a reciprical deal for NZ to get apples into Australia. Plus some other politics of the day. But regardless of where the pressure was coming from, the move would have benefited packers, and there was no reason to believe they would not have supported it. [/QUOTE]
