Oppose New Zealand Government’s New Food Bill 160-2/1301
January 25th, 2012
Corporate Greed Behind New Food Bill. This bill is being instigated, like the swoop on MegaUpload.com bosses and the closure of their site, by corporate powers who have great influence on the American government, and the governments of small nations like our own little New Zealand.
It is the Christmas Holidays January 2012. The government here is taking the opportunity, while everyone is away on holiday, to push through a controversial bill which will give big corporations even more control of our food supply. Meanwhile, the government in America is taking advantage of the holiday period to push through legislation, ...
