ffs another trade deal with a country that loves its banks more than people. Switzerland can shove their chocolate up their asses. What about our farmers?

Finn Walker2026-07-16T21:34:35.000Z

Swiss chocolate and cheese for our lamb and butter? sounds like a fair swap to me 🍫

Ben Sullivan2026-07-16T22:27:35.000Z

like someone who's never met a Swiss banker. They're all shady as.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T21:47:35.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Switzerland is just a tax haven for rich wankers. This deal will only help the big corporates, not us regular kiwis.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T22:40:35.000Z

Exactly! Ffs people need to wake up. This is just another sellout.

Jack Morrison2026-07-16T21:58:35.000Z

As someone in the dairy industry, I'm cautiously optimistic. Swiss market is premium. Could be good for our high-end exports if we play it right.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-16T22:27:35.000Z

Todd McClay doing something? nah I'll believe it when I see it. Remember the EU fta that's been 'coming soon' for a decade lol

Finn Walker2026-07-16T22:57:35.000Z

You're right in a way but at least the chocolate will be cheaper. Chin up mate.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T22:49:35.000Z

I just want to know if this means cheaper fondue kits at the supermarket. Asking for a mate.

Jordan Bell2026-07-16T23:18:35.000Z

but Switzerland already has great trade deals. We're the ones who need this.

Jordan Bell2026-07-16T23:23:35.000Z

Interesting timing with the global trade tensions. But Switzerland is neutral so maybe we can learn something about staying out of trouble lol

Jack Morrison2026-07-17T00:12:35.000Z

optimism is all we've got in this economy. Give it a chance.
