Diplomatic Incident
OPINION: Your old mate hears an international incident is threatening to blow up the long-standing Anzac alliance as Kiwis and Aussies argue over who wants new Australian resident and former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Aussie PM Anthony Albanese was visiting China at the time.
When asked, "What's our point of difference [with the Aussies]?" our PM responded, "Well we're just better than the Australians, let's be clear. We don't lose to Australians ever at home or abroad."
He then opined that the red meat sector needs to "do a better job in our marketing story relative to the Australians than what they have been doing".
Perhaps aware some of the red meat leaders were in the room, he added that Nathan Guy (MIA) and SFF had done exactly that with the launch of Taste Pure Nature.
