Fonterra takes out injunction against former board member Leonie GuineyDairy farmer and former Fonterra board member Leonie Guiney, now under a gagging order. Fonterra has slapped a mystery injunction on former board member Leonie Guiney, banning any media from "using, publishing or otherwise disseminating confidential information" provided by her. "On any board, confidentiality obligations are intended, in part, to encourage robust debate, dissenting views, and honest and frank discussions. "It is not uncommon to have disparate views around a board table, in fact, that is a sign of healthy debate. Later at a public meeting Guiney said Fonterra's new election system created a risk to democratic control of capital.
