Green no more?
OPINION: Your old mate has long dismissed the Greens as wooden bicycle enthusiasts with their heads in the clouds, but it looks like the ‘new Greens’ may actually be hard-nosed pragmatists when it comes to following voters.
Instead of making some effort to help with the governance of the country, which they are actually paid to do - the Māori Party and the Greens in particular are using parliament as a high-profile platform to disrespectfully shout about some of their bizarre causes.
It seems that a few of them just come into parliament to yell and scream and then bugger off on full pay to do other things and join other protests around the country - again, at the taxpayers' expense.
Do they have any respect for the hard-pressed workers of the country who are paying for their extravagances?
Milking It suspects not.
So, Seymour needs to spark his department into action and return the debating chamber back to a civilised state.
