Reality-free

Written by 

Your canine crusader thinks Fed head William Rolleston comes across at times as a bit too nice – perhaps because of all the fancy schools he went to.

However, your old mate was pleased to see recently that Dr Billy Boy got a bit mongrel in putting the boot into the anti-1080 nutjob activists (e.g. NZ First MPs and many other loonies) for threatening the safety of the country’s conservation department staff and contractors. “It is simply unacceptable for New Zealanders who go to work every day to protect our environment to be made to feel unsafe doing their jobs,” Rolleston barked. “This is madness – activism out of control.” Good point Billy Boy, but as the Hound notes, from long experience, the word ‘reality’ and the anti-1080 mob do not live on the same planet.
