7) Make up absurd reasons why the 'results' were late and provided incomplete, during phone conference question time.
Blame either:
a) An earlier boardroom meeting that ran over time
b) That some journalists' email accounts can't accept email attachments.
8) After complaints from journalists, provide balance sheet data – by email in an attachment – at 12.53PM – nearly two hours past deadline.
9) Wonder why your company engenders suspicion from shareholders, the fourth estate and the general public.

Fonterra is a cooperative business. It is owned by the people who grow the grass that feeds the cows that produces the milk that goes in the powder that goes on the ships that makes the money that keeps New Zealand economically something a bit more than a banana republic.
Tired old yesterday's men discredited PR hacks shouldn't be paid extortionate sums to endeavour to pull the wool over the eyes of gullible media. Dairy cockies aren't stupid. Fonterra's leaders mess with them at their peril.
