HJ Heinz Company: The Ketchup People

Walk into any diner in America and you’re likely to see his name on ketchup bottles on pickle jars. Henry J Heinz has been a part of American culture for more than a century. Heinz sold his products on every continent. He coined one of the most memorable lines in the history of advertising “57 varieties”. He was an obsessive genius, yet in an era of domineering bosses and robber barons Heinz motivated his employees with kindness. HJ Heinz was certainly an uncommon man devoted to his religion, his family and his pickles but not necessarily in that order.

Australia, NZ hit back at film tariff

Australia and New Zealand have vowed to advocate for their film industries after US President Donald Trump announced a plan to impose 100 per cent tariffs on foreign-made movies. The two countries have emerged as popular filming locations for Hollywood movies in recent years, given lower costs and tax incentives from federal and state governments. Earlier, Trump said in a post on Truth Social that it was due to incentives offered by other countries to lure filmmakers that the American movie industry was dying a “very fast death”. He said he was authorising the relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, to immediately begin the process of imposing a 100 per cent tariff on all films produced abroad that are then sent into the United States.
