‘Loopy laws’

-

Pressure on dairy owners to cease selling $1 and $2 lolly mix bags are the result of “loopy labelling laws” according to Act leader David Seymour. Dairy owners were being told by representa­tives of confection­ary companies that their $1 and $2 mix bags did not meet the labelling laws introduced in 2002, he said. “These Kiwi classics haven’t been a problem for 16 years, but dairy owners are now finding that not listing all lollies in a mix bag could led to court action,” he added. “It’s an absurd consequenc­e of the nanny state built by both Labour and National, and goes against the Kiwi way of life. Even Parliament’s own cafes stock a supply of unlabelled mixed lollies.”
