Open letter to New Zealand apple producers. PLEASE devastate our local apple industry. West Australian apple producers and sellers are relying on bogus protectionism to continue serving up fifth rate apples to Perth consumers. We are begging for fantastic New Zealand apples in Perth, but we don’t get them why?
Our local apple producers export all the best of their crop, but because competition is banned, they can get away with dumping the dregs onto the local market.
Everyone understands that claims of disease in NZ apples are ridiculous and are only made because producers and sellers are aware that they couldn’t get away with selling shit ( or “shut” as they say here) if consumers were aware how good an apple should be. We admit it, the disease claims are fake.
Without exaggeration, many people in Perth will NEVER have tasted a really good apple. This is despite the fact that we grow apples only a few hours away.
Consumers would be completely in support of removing protection barriers if they had the chance to see what a real apple should taste like. Our local growers deserve to go out of business for the way they have treated the local consumers for so many years.
The worst new Zealand apple is equal to the best you can buy in a Perth supermarket. Literally.
And for those that are bored with my campaign against the wankers in Albany who send us all their shitty apples, here’s a New Zealand worst. An almost bucolic scene of a Sigma parked outside a Speights seller. Obviously there’s some breaking news about to happen in the sports bar. A valued member of the trans tasman journalistic community Outrage? The Kiwis may have good apples, but their mainstream beer is complete “pus” and or “shut”. Two worsts in one pic, Hanmer Springs. About to hit the sauna. Seeing if I can beat the 80 degree mark.
The Worst of Perth 
Don’t be too harsh. During the 2007 Cricket world cup final this was the only place in Hanmer Springs showing the game, at 6am, as there was an Aussie working behind the bar. And they served me brekky early and were not fazed when I used up a table watching the cricket when the tourists started filling up the place hours later.

We export to eastern states, a market that would also collapse if kiwi apples imported. Hopefully those cunts in Albany might start sending a few crisp ones our way if they don’t have an export market. Wankers.

Re: apples — NY State is a major producer of apples for North America and the Hudson River Valley was the first place where they were cultivated (thus “The Big Apple” for New York). We can buy excellent apples, though. Are there no farmstand/farmer’s market options in the Perth area? Granted, also, it occurs to me that our colder climate may make storage issues easier.

You can drive to Albany, which is a different proposition (and pronunciation) than US version. The thing is that the export price is higher, so few good apples end up in Perth. Farmers markets here tend to sell stuff that can’t be sold in supermarkets, such as fruit that has been pecked by birds. And I dont see why you should have to seek out some crackpot shop or drive to hillbilly country. Why shouldn’t there be anything good in the main shops like here in NZ?

Albany, NY, was designed by Count Dracula and Darth Vader, who both got drunk one night, each boasting that he could come up with the scariest building. Thus the vast Death Star/Haunted Mansion mishmash that comprises downtown:
The populace were indeed terrified and fled screaming to the hills, leaving the city inhabited by the one form of life that not even renegade Jedis and vampires can defeat: politicians.
