Oh........the 'third way'!  That is the famous economic modelling proffered 
by Tony Blair and his now basket case english economy where the FTSE has 
gone from 6500 to below 4000. 

By the way..........what is the third way?  Helengrad never defined it apart 
from putting it on a piece of paper.  It is a big illusion.  The wealth 
redistribution programme of the current government is making us poorer.  To 
use a common thread "you don't make the poor rich by making the rich poor". 

Wait until the greenies push their agenda over 'global warming'.  
Ratification of the Kyoto Protocol will be the next worst thing to 'think 
big'.  It WILL spell disaster for this country. 

As for Fonterra...couldn't care what happens.  What happens is what people 
dictate will happen.  No bureaucrat or politician should replace their 
judgment with that of the owners of the company.  I would love to see it 
list on the stock exchange.  Give Telecom some heavy weight competition at 
least.
Cheers
