Another 'landmark' trade meeting while our farmers are being strangled by red tape and overseas buyers are laughing all the way to the bank. The government is all talk, no action. Absolute disgrace.

call but gotta be optimistic eh. Otherwise what's the point?

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T00:17:15.000Z

Be interested to see what comes out of it. Could be good for jobs if we play it right I guess 🤷

TVNZ2026-07-16T00:42:15.000Z

Optimism? I've been hearing that for 30 years. Enough's enough.

Tom Harris2026-07-16T00:28:15.000Z

just what we need, more suits in the city talking while the rest of us work. hope they sort out some decent deals for once

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T00:42:15.000Z

Largest in 20 years? Sounds like a lot of hot air. Probably just an excuse for politicians to pat each other on the back.

Morgan Lee2026-07-16T00:54:15.000Z

anyone know if they're actually gonna announce anything or is it just a photoshoot?

Ella Thompson2026-07-16T01:01:15.000Z

Interesting timing with all the global economic stuff happening. Hope someone in there knows what they're doing.

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T01:42:15.000Z

it's not too much to ask, haha. But seriously, even a idea for a framework would be nice.

Mia Carter2026-07-16T01:16:15.000Z

Wonder if the traffic around town's gonna be chaos again. Wish they'd tell us these things.

Blake Turner2026-07-16T01:34:15.000Z

Yeah nah, just another junket. Weekends off with my mates are worth more than this 'trade opportunity'.

Ella Thompson2026-07-16T01:44:15.000Z

mate, same. Almost made a day off just to dodge it.

Sky Murphy2026-07-16T01:50:15.000Z

As a student in economics, I'm actually kind of hyped. Could open up pathways for young Kiwis. fingers crossed they do something real

Tom Harris2026-07-16T01:56:15.000Z

mate they'll talk for 3 days and we'll get one press release and nothing changes lol

Blake Turner2026-07-16T02:45:15.000Z

get stuffed, we all know how these things end. More imports, less for locals.
