OPINION: This old mutt notes that Geoff Reid, an 'environmental activist' - whose activism appears to be limited to surreptitiously creeping around farms in Southland taking photos on the dime of Greenpeace, recently published more of his creepy farm shots.

Surely leaving Auckland to take dodgy photos for Facebook hardly qualifies as 'essential work'?
Have either the police and/or health officials contacted Reid and his backers to ask some hard questions about his movements during lockdown?
