[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 12674, member: 44"] Not the attempts in recent years, but back in the 1930s... I'm still researching to write an article about the 1937/38 period, when the Honey Control Board exceeded its authority and was caught (by Billy Bray, primarily!) dealing in foreign honey sales. I've collected the various items documenting that period into a folder to make it possible to browse chronologically: [URL="http://www.beekeeping.nz/NZBDA/1937_Australian_honey_import/"]Index of /NZBDA/1937_Australian_honey_import[/URL] But I wanted to make this posting to record what I count as one of the finest bits of prose I've read while setting up this beekeeping archive. The line comes from a letter Billy Bray wrote to the major newspapers, lifting the lid on the shambles of the Australian honey import. "We want to know who finds the money for these deals and also what the Government is doing to prevent such twinny-dingling with the goodwill of our markets." No one likes a twinny-dingler. Go, Billy, go! [/QUOTE]
