NATHAN GUY The Meat Industry Association, which will cop the backlash on this bill. It is absolutely hopeless.
NATHAN GUY ... July 2006. When we think about consultation on this bill, we expect that the industry would have been consulted. The Meat Industry Association asked Jim Anderton for a meeting so that it could try to understand where he was coming from in respect of the bill. ...

Hon DAVID CARTER ... Roy, is to include Meat and Wool New Zealand as part of the consultation process with the Commerce Commission and the Meat Industry Association. The Meat Industry Association would be very comfortable with this, and, in fact, it thinks this would be a worthy ...
Hon DAVID CARTER ... Maryan Street objected to my comment that this was connected. I can do no other than refer to a submission from the Meat Industry Association that came before the select committee. The Meat Industry Association said that it was also alarmed at the role of the ...

Hon DAVID CARTER ... written by the Government, not by Mr Copeland. Suffice to say, though, what was really interesting was that the Meat Industry Association received absolutely no consultation at all from the Government on this legislation. The association was told that that ...
Hon David Carter ... should know is that there is not real competition between these agencies, especially in the red meat business, as the Meat Industry Association would have everybody believe. There is the potential for competition. When the Meat Industry Association talks about ...
