Fonterra will be facing the music in its roadshow meetings to brief its farmers on its full year result - the loss of $196m. Arie Dekker of First NZ Capital dissects what went wrong for Fonterra in China and contemplates what the future possibly hold for the co-op. Anti-1080 protestors punctuated their gathering at Parliament yesterday by offering up some dead native birds and mice. There's a claim the birds were "bludgeoned" to death - an illegal act - and a counter-claim they were roadkill. Conservation biologist James Russell of the University of Auckland says that you'd have to eat two tonnes of watercress that had been exposed to 1080 for it to cause any harm. The CEO of Fletcher Living says there's no need for a sizable garden if you have playgrounds or parks nearby. Steve Evans says smaller sections is one of the keys for unlocking housing affordability.
