Meet Gary and Marilyn Proctor, who are spending their golden years producing Manuka honey. But while courts have ruled both Australia and New Zealand can call their honey Manuka, the Kiwis are launching a fresh offensive to shut the Aussies out and things are getting sticky...

So Manuka is the name of the manuka bush/tree that the bees make pollen from! It is native to NZ AND South East Australia. So naming the honey after the plant can't be copyrighted!

@feroxranger Год назад

Manuka is the name of the plant in nz not Australia. Aussies called it tea tree until they thought they could profit off taking the name from another countries indigenous people.

@traceyholt8223 Год назад

@@feroxranger The lucrative honey is produced from bees feeding on the pollen of the Leptospermum scoparium plant, native to both Australia and New Zealand, and is famed for its anti-bacterial properties. In New Zealand, it is called Mānuka, in Australia, it is more commonly known as Tea Tree, but the word Manuka (without a macron, which is used to indicate a long vowel) has been in common use in Tasmania for at least 100 years.

Growing plants is now equivalent to stealing plants? Don't be ridiculous.

@pronumeral1446 Год назад

It's not the growing the plants and making the honey, that the Kiwis have a problem with, but rather marketing it as "Manuka" The French don't have a problem with people making sparkling white wine... but they do have a problem if you use the word "champagne" to market your wine. The French want to reserve the word "champagne" only for wine made in a certain way, in a certain region of France (the region called... Champagne).

@traceyholt8223 Год назад

The plant was native to Australia first then migrated to NZ. Australia didn't "steal" the plant. The honey is named after the plant that bees use the pollen from.

@@traceyholt8223 you mean your Australian Coast Tea Tree honey. You shouldn't steal another nations language. No one cares if you make tea tree honey and sell it labelled as such. Aussies are just trying to steal the considerable work done by nz in authenticating and marketing the Mănuka brand. It would be the same if people in California, South Africa, or Hawaii (where it is also growing) were to start calling it manuka. Also arguing that it is not Maori because you stole their word and lazily didn't add the macron is just an example of modern day colonial bull shyte.

@TonyBurke100 Год назад

I have a nasty skin infection on my legs a friend put me onto Manuka and I can feel and see the benefits. I don't care who makes it or what they call it as long as it works and it's cheaper.

The bush or tree are as old.newzeland on not planned in a orchard New Zealand has the right to the name an should be able they had it first

@pronumeral1446 Год назад

The word "Manuka" is clearly a borrowing from Te Reo Maori into Australian English. Us Aussies are clearly playing semantics there. Just like, for instance, the word "entree" is a borrowing from French into English (the correct French spelling has an accent above the first e in entree).

@traceyholt8223 Год назад

The manuka tree/bush is native to both NZ and South Eastern Australia. The honey is named after the plant.

@almac9203 Год назад

Technically, champagne can be used on any type of sparkling wine, you just have to be specific of its origin. So it’s Australian champagne

Australia, Really? I was born in NZ, lived in Australia for 15 years. Most Australians have had little association with 1st nation people. As a Kiwi, we were brought up going to school with Maoris, Compulsively learning their culture, language. I don't know any Kiwi who complains about it. All Kiwis will have a Maori friend or associate. But this country? Lived all over the world and this country is by far the most racist. All voted 'NO' with lousy excuses. Don't understand, it would cause division between cultures, blah. blah. Australia has spoken for the 1st nation. They don't have a voice!...'MANUKA PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY'!?!...For crying out loud, call it the 1st nation name for Tea Tree or is there no profit in that. Except their culture or is your history to shameful. You all voted 'We don't give a F'.

Go to any asian country and you'll find their more xenophobic. If you've been to an asian country & they've treated you nicely it's probably because they think your a tourist.
