Goodbye agriculture.

Let's hope that Nanny can step back from her narrow political interests long enough to think very carefully about what she's about to give away to the Chinese. I've seen this before. The Chinese will push for a deal requiring the transfer of agricultural technology with promises of liberalization for agricultural products somewhere down the road. NZ will sell the crown jewels for an immediate, and no doubt substantial, profit. Ten years from now, we'll be buying Chinese milk powder and all our Asian markets for fresh agricutural produce will be gone as well.

You heard it here first.
