Description: Interviews with a number of people who spent their childhood in this rural district north west of Auckland City during the 1910s and 1920s. The area was long used as a portage by Maori between the Kaipara and Waitemata harbours. Pakeha initially settled during the mid to late 1800s and, after forest and gum clearance, the area was slowly developed into dairy farms. In 1915 nearly 5000 acres of scrubland at Kumeu North (renamed Huapai) were subdivided as orchards, mixed farms and weekend homes. There was an influx of new residents (including weekend only residents) following this. Huapai School opened in 1919.

Context - a report to Agriculture Minister David Carter said high domestic costs were being driven by overseas dairy prices. "International prices are currently at high levels and are likely to remain for the remainder of the year to May 2011 and into the next. This will keep retail milk prices up," the report said. The report showed the retail price of milk rose from $1.69 per litre last June to $1.82 in January, and advised that Government intervention to reduce prices was not a sustainable solution.

Description: Text reading 'The Commerce Commission changes its mind' appears at the top of the frame. Below is the word 'MILK' in large lettering and below that again is a boffin who says 'The noun has become a verb'. Context - Complaints about the high price of milk for New Zealanders. Dairy juggernaut Fonterra has dismissed a complaint to the Commerce Commission alleging it is artificially inflating the price of milk in New Zealand, saying even if it could manipulate a high price, it would not be making record profits if it did so. That's because the higher the price Fonterra gets for milk, the more it has to pay to its farmer-owners and the less it posts in profit, said chief financial officer Jonathan Mason. An official complaint to the commission claims New Zealand's biggest company, and controller of around 90 per cent of the country's raw milk supply, is setting an artificial, or notional, milk price in a "deliberate and measured campaign" to lessen competition in the New Zealand market.

Description: The cartoon shows a cow with a '$' symbol printed on its chest. The title reads 'Southland dairying worth $1billion'; the words 'the econoMOOney' appear above the cow. The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research study, commissioned by Fonterra, says the dairy sector has delivered significant and ongoing benefits to the entire New Zealand economy. It estimates the sector directly contributed $922.4m to Southland's economy, based on a $5.50kgMS payout. The dairy volume expansion during the past decade has contributed an extra $650 in income per person in Southland above what would otherwise have happened, with Southland's regional GDP in 2009 1.3 per cent higher than it would have been had dairying not increased the economic activity in the province.
