Surprise, surprise!

Written by  The Hound

Your old mate has always suspected that the multi-national, environmental fundamentalist, farming hating lobby group Greenpeace is effectively a glorified fund-raising arm of the fundamentalist, farmer hating Green Party in this country.

These suspicions were further enhanced following the announcement of some of the people – i.e. soap-dodging, tree hugging communists – who will be standing for the Green Party at this year’s election.

Among this list of out-of-work actors, woke school kids and Mexican communists is longtime Greenpeace ‘activist’ Steve Able.

Of course, Able is not the only Greenpeace tie to the Green Party; the current head of the NZ organisation is the former co-leader of the Greens, well-known Australian and former communist, ‘Red Rusty’ Russel Norman. Go figure!
