Legislation regulating New Zealand’s organic sector is about to pass through its final stages in Parliament and will be a major boost for exporters meeting the global demand for safe, ‘clean’, GE-free organic products. The Organic Products Bill helps bring New Zealand into line with international organic certification under which Genetically Engineered (GE) organisms are prohibited.
The Organic Products Bill aims to give businesses clarity around product claims and to reassure consumers about the integrity of organic production systems. This legislation comes at a time when consumer trust and confidence in brands is becoming increasingly important as a competitive point of difference for New Zealand exports.

It seems that the Springbok tour protests in 1981 had a deep and abiding effect on David Seymour, even though he would not be born until two years later.
He was clearly affected by the experience or lack thereof and has clearly harboured a deeply felt opposition to apartheid ever since.
But regrettably his deeply felt opposition to apartheid is not matched by his understanding of what it involves. Because he has confused the ability of part of the electorate to refuse to allow meaningful representation of Maori with the gross suppression of rights based on race.
An Aucklander who spent six minutes at a store where a Covid-19 case was working had to wait nearly eight hours on the phone to get advice from Healthline.
Even if this item isn t correct in every detail it illustrates cracks in the Covid management policy widening. Are front-line workers being properly paid and rested? Are investigators really on top of their job keeping up with the urgency needed, that was shown earlier on? NZ can t afford to be complacent. Recently one student was phoned a number of times without success, and a visit to the house wasn t made. In the meantime the virus was being spread.
