No, we're nationalists. We are not going to tolerate an agreement. That is a cunning, devious way of handing over authority to New Delhi for New Zealand immigration out of India. We do not want unrestrained Indian immigration. We do not want a continuation of the slave labour, largely Indian, experiences in the Kiwi fruit. I have no doubts about what I say. Read the New Zealand Herald. And we have, sadly... perpetuated the folly of Stephen Joyce for far too long, where he pursued unfettered mass immigration from India under the guise of adult education, an actual fact that just proved to be an opportunity for very unscrupulous people to oppress their own, and that's why the personality and the reputation of the Indian people in the kiwifruit industry is in some cases mud.
