       I'm reluctant to agree with Winston on many fronts, but this I do. Shareholders, it's in their court to stop this idiotic sale your wise board has set up. Don't come crying for sympathy in future when things go pear shape.#fonterra  'Giving it away': Winston Peters lays into Fonterra over sale of iconic brands https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/575440/giving-it-away-winston-peters-lays-into-fonterra-over-sale-of-iconic-brands

       "Fonterra has agreed to sell major brands like Mainland and Anchor for $3.845 billion."#GilesDexter, 2025https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/575440/giving-it-away-winston-peters-lays-into-fonterra-over-sale-of-iconic-brandsI strongly believe trademark law needs reform, so trademarks can't be sold as tradeable assets. The whole point of a trademark is to allow customers to buy from a consistent source. If they can be transferred from one operator to another, who can slap it on whatever garbage they like, it defeats the whole purpose.#PolicyNZ #TrademarkLaw@BigD @rogerparkinson

       @strypey @rogerparkinson Good point. What is the point.I will be surprised if this gets a majority vote from shareholders. Farmers aren't broke( ATM) aren't thick( some are ignorant) and aren't all needing to pay off large bank loans( why would they at current interest rates)
