Description

Two women chat in a supermarket; one wonders why 'dairy prices keep rising' and the other says 'Because that's what people overseas can afford'. In response to this logic the first woman says 'So if we want to be able to afford things we've got to emigrate?' and the other replies 'Sadly, there's no sign it'll happen any other way'. 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. Mr Carter said New Zealand had to take the good with the bad. (NZ Herald 14 March 2011)
