Fonterra CFO Andrew Murray Resigns
Fonterra Co-operative Group chief financial officer Andrew Murray has resigned to take up a role outside the dairy giant.
OPINION: Winston Peters has described the decision to sell its brand to Lactalis and disperse the profit to its farmer shareholders as a 'short sighted sugar hit'.

Winston says it does and if he's right, think economic disaster.
Otherwise, take the money and run.
