1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Fonterra boss Miles Harrel has stood down yesterday. He's given

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,039
Speaker 1: six months notice, been eight years in the role. Conflicting

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: opinions on his legacy, Niicola Willis says great Winston Peter

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: says he's a sellout. Carl Deen fed Farmer's dairy chair

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: with us this morning. Hey Carl, morning rong. So we

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: know what the politicians think because they're the first to

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: open their mouths. Of course, what do farmers think?

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: I think most Fonterra farmers are pretty happy with Myles' tenure.

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: He's taken the cop from what was when he took

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: on the job, almost a failing corporative and almost headed

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: towards partial foreign ownership, to being a very New Zealand

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: based corporative.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: Again, what about the Winston comments? Do they resonate with farmers?

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Do they put farmers off? After all, almost ninety percent

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: voted for the sale right.

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: Yes see, I think it was over eighty eight percent.

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: I don't think most farmers would believe what Winston hasn't say,

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: to be honest, because, like I just said, the fact

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: that when Myles took on the.

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: Role, the corporate was very globalist.

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: And now it's become very New Zealand centric, so you know,

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: there's very little production for Fonterra now happening overseas.

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: It's New Zealand milk. It's it's quite surprising that he's

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 3: making those comments.

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Carl Riley Kennedy, who is from Business Desk, he's always

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: like listening to him and he has said Richard Allen,

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: Global Ingredients President, he's a potential contender internally known as

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Golden Boy. Apparently he's a lifer at the co op,

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: fluent in Chinese and Mandarin. Matt Bolger, Managing Director co

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: Op Affairs, A couple of names been bandied about, all

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: seemed to be internal. Is that what do you think

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: the direction they should go in.

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: I think that the main direction that farmers would want

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: to see is that they bring similar values that Myles

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: has brought to the co Op in the last eight years.

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: So that's honesty and transparency. You know, we've been told

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: of spades a spade and that's what needs to continue.

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920
