Where have all the kiwifruit seconds outlets gone?
Wish we Kerikeri locals could bite into some of our locally grown kiwifruit! While kiwi families are biting the bullet & cutting costs, truckloads of kiwifruit seconds are being transported out of our district to our big supermarket chains where it is onsold. According to info received from a local fruit reseller, Zespri/Packhouses, oblivious to the cost of living crisis (yet expect the taxpayer to bail them out after a weather event), will no longer supply our local small fruit re-sellers & will only sell to the big price gougers. If that wasn't bad enough, according to this fruit reseller, truck loads of kiwifruit are being used as cattle feed. Now I wonder what appetite this govt has for knocking this kind of monopolistic behaviour on the head! Perhaps it might suggest to the industry, if it wants taxpayers' money to bail them out, it might need to rethink its local market fruit distribution policy?

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?
