It always amuses me when people come up with a business model that involves consumers paying more money out of the goodness of their heart.

If local producers can't compete, then tough titties. I thought we'd already learned the painful lessons of propping up inefficient industries just because they are "local".

If you're going to have a sock, why have one that posts the same rubbish from the same hardcore socialist website?

The subsequent 3 billion litres was then dumped into Asian markets killing our exports.

I mistakenly thought this topic was about milk, but the subject heading says "mik" Please elaborate Red Baron. Is it MIK [Methyl Isobutyl Ketone] or Made In Korea?

Only 30c extra?

And how much do the farmers get out of that?

according to coles, all of it .... they have stated they will start a new line of 'home brand' milk from which they will forfeit ALL the profits to the farmer.

i think it's gimmick and won't last

I think you're right

Coles were a part of the problem with ripping off dairy farmers

now they are going to exploit the situation to make more money

and make out they are heroes in the process

Big Fail.
