Mark Mitchell

You just sit at a public meeting and do what?

Is that from Heinz or Watties or by the supermarkets?

Well, one of the key reasons is because we like to buy imported crap, don't we?

I mean, if the can of peaches is cheap, we'll buy cheap peaches.

Mark, just to get this out of the way, did you come back from holiday specially to put on your raincoat the other day for the emergency, or did you just happen to be back?

No, no, I came back early.

I just couldn't in good conscience get in Bali in the pool drinking bin tanks while the country was at risk of a severe tropical cyclone.

How many times have you interrupted your holidays?

That's the third time now.

So we've been up to Bali three times in the last couple of years and every single one of them has been interrupted by weather.

But that's the job.

And I just want to, you know, like Jenny's talking about the situation in Hawke's Bay.

It is tough.

It's awful.

The people that are impacted.

But if we're talking about weather, the whole horticultural and agricultural sector there have just been affected.

It's been astounding the way they've recovered after Cyclone Gabriel and come back online with their products.

So, you know, I hope that everyone's working together to sort of try and find a solution.

I think somewhere, now where was I reading yesterday?

It could have been, was it Cheese, was it Tupuki or was it Hawke's Bay?
