60 Minutes finally agreed to launch a full investigation into the horrific child labor practices sustaining the chocolate industry. They cannot look away from this exploitation any longer and we forced their hand. Stay sharp because we will be holding them accountable for every word of their upcoming report.
We the undersigned youth of this nation and those who support us on this issue,
would like to petition 60 minutes to use their journalistic skills and resources to
investigate three key questions.
1. What is the current situation today, in the cocoa industry, in relation to the child slave
labour that is/or has been, used in the production of cocoa beans, and what are the major
chocolate companies in the world doing to address this issue
2. Which of the main brands of chocolate (if any) can we as consumers eat with a clear
conscience, knowing that no child had to suffer in its making
3. What is the New Zealand Government doing to restrict the importation of ingredients or
products into our country that have been produced using slave labour
The momentum behind this effort proves that people are finally waking up to the disgusting reality of the cocoa industry. Big Chocolate hopes we stay silent while children suffer for their profits but this energy shows they are mistaken. We have their attention now and they cannot ignore us forever.

If big companies have nothing to hide they should love an investigation. find out the truth.
