Fonterrible

Written by 

This old mutt has been around the traps a few years now, but he has never seen a more draconian attempt to shut down debate than Fonterra’s recent legal move to prevent former director Leonie Guiney talking to rural media.

The Hound reckons Fonterra’s actions would even make Vladimir Putin and the little fatty from North Korea blush. Your old mate wonders if Fonterra chair John Wilson is wanting to change his moniker from ‘Little Johnny’ to ‘Little Vlad’ and the dairy co-op’s name to ‘Fonterrible’? Your canine crusader suggests that if Fonterra thinks this kind of action is going to deflect media interest from its major Chinese cock-up – namely Beingmate – then its shareholder farmers are paying co-op’s huge legal bills in vain. It prompts the question, what is Fonterra and its directors trying to hide?
