Vaughan,
I believe that the Bonlac suppliers who voted for the sale to Fonterra sold
out the Australian dairy industry.
Bonlac and Murray Goulburn should have got together and formed one very
strong Aussie Co-op.
But hey, we Aussies couldn't care. Foreigners own most of Australia's food
companies now any way. Kraft are shifting their packaging of shore.
Condensed milk from China is on the Super Market shelves. Milk from the
thousands of black and white heifers sold to China over the last several
years, will soon flood in to wash us all away.

What do Australians think about Fonterra from New Zealand buying into dairy
companies in Australia?
It seems strange to me.
Are they doing a good job for your dairy farmers?
