I thought one of the most interesting points was in this piece<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Local fruit retailers also have a problem with the imports proposal and say they will not stock the New Zealand fruit.<\/p>\n

Benny Parsons, of The Nut House at Ulverstone, said the seven different varieties of apples he sells are grown in the Mersey Valley area and it would stay that way.<\/p>\n

Grower Shane Weeks, of Ayer's Orchards, said the two big supermarkets would probably be the only retailers looking for the imported, and most likely cheaper, product.<\/p>\n

He hoped NZ apples would be labelled as such if they ended up in local supermarkets.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So let's say Australia does eventually remove the restrictions.  How will Australian retailers and consumers react?<\/p>\n
