Two-Faced System

Written by  The Hound
Two-Faced System

OPINION: If farmers poured just a few litres of some pollutant into a stream, the Green Party and the wider wooden bicycle enthusiast community would be on their soapboxes screaming about dirty farmers and demanding a harsh penalty, which regional authorities would be gagging to administer.

However, the Greens’ silence over the catastrophic breakdown of Wellington’s Moa Point sewerage system is no surprise to this old mutt.

The regional council is unlikely to prosecute the city council, so don’t hold your breath for any accountability.

Successive councils have failed to upgrade infrastructure, and wasted money on expensive, largely empty, cycleways.

Wellingtonians can’t swim in the sea now but could at least go for a nice bike ride. They can thank the Green Party and their woke mates for that!

Green no more?

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.

Time for action

OPINION: If David Seymour's much-trumpeted Ministry for Regulation wants a serious job they need look no further than reviewing the rules and regulations governing members of the so-called House of Representatives.

Red faced

OPINION: The Greens have taken the high moral ground on the Palestine issue and been leading political agitators in related protests – and that is to be expected, but the diplomatic efforts and wisdom of Winston Peters in this area should not be overlooked or ignored.

Are they serious?

OPINION: The Greens aren’t serious people when it comes to the economy, so let’s not spend too much on their fiscal fantasies.
