Then Chinese markets ceased buying New Zealand milk solids. This threw the New Zealand dairy industry into a spin and milk solids prices dropped dramatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Destabilising the New Zealand dairy industry was part of this Geo-political strategy in how it operates in New Zealand. With falling stock options China invested heavily in our internal Dairy industry\u00a0 for example Crafar farms so it could essentially cut New Zealand out of its own industry.\u00a0Unfortunately the National government is complicit in this corporate colonisation receiving large campaign funds from Chinese firms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Free trade deals can be lucrative but if the government of the day is Neo-Liberal and offering to sell off everything including the family silver a free trade deal will fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">With the TPPA about to be ratified I fear the first victims of these Neo-Liberal trade deals will be farmers.
