Dairy businesses | ‘Milked’: Dairy NZ CEO Tim Mackle and documentary-maker Chris Huriwai go head to head over controversial film

A new documentary is making waves by questioning one of New Zealand's biggest industries.

Milked sees young activist Chris Huriwai, raised in the rural community of Ōtaua, looking to make sense of the conflicting claims coming from both the dairy industry and environmental protection camps.

Is New Zealand dairy farming really the most sustainable and efficient in the world, as dairy giant Fonterra claims, or is that just greenwashing over the true ecological cost of business?

Co-producer of the film Huriwai and Dairy NZ CEO Tim Mackle went head to head over the issue on AM on Monday.
