- 0:28Speaker 2: well thank you. Now see Winston's complaining about this like
- 0:31Speaker 2: elektaali steal or however you pronounce it, and he reckons
- 0:34Speaker 2: there's going to be bonuses for the executives at Fonterra
- 0:37Speaker 2: for stitching the thing together.
- 0:38Speaker 3: What do you say, Oh, he's come off the long run,
- 0:41Speaker 3: hasn't he? He's dug it. In short, it's a real
- 0:43Speaker 3: bouncer from Winston because this thing looks like it's the
- 0:46Speaker 3: lady on Missia happening. Farmer's going to get half a
- 0:48Speaker 3: million dollars. But this is a bit of a curve
- 0:51Speaker 3: ball about Myles Harrell and the rest of them, and
- 0:54Speaker 3: he's sort of Winston's saying, you know, they're going to
- 0:56Speaker 3: take their big check and bugger off, so to speak,
- 0:59Speaker 3: which you know, I think that would probably raise a
- 1:01Speaker 3: few shackles. I would have thought that one or two
- 1:03Speaker 3: might get a little bit upset about that, but you know,
- 1:05Speaker 3: like and then the other thing I quite liked went
- 1:07Speaker 3: to the saying is said, where's our pride and in
- 1:09Speaker 3: those brands, those Kiwi brands that have been established, And
- 1:12Speaker 3: he's also thoroughly stressed and right, you know, it seems
- 1:16Speaker 3: like it's an eight to ten year deal to provide
- 1:19Speaker 3: the milk, but you know he's wanting to see a
- 1:21Speaker 3: bit more surety around that. So yeah, so they're going
- 1:25Speaker 3: around the meetings at the moment, going around the farmers
- 1:27Speaker 3: and you know, telling them how much they're going to
- 1:29Speaker 3: get and what it all means. But he's just kind
- 1:33Speaker 3: of like, just while it seemed like a done deal,
- 1:36Speaker 3: he's probably just put a little bit of color into
- 1:38Speaker 3: the water that's going under the bridge at the market.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Very interesting. Now I've got to say thank you to
