I see the Greens are calling for the Govt to dump a school lunch supplier due to it having a history of shady people and scandals.
Then if that's the bar the Green want to set then Ya hoo! The millions being absorbed by the Greens that achieves nothing may now be redirected to good causes instead. One would assume the Green would also have to cancel themselves for the exact same reason. Yeah right, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Sort of makes funding the mongrel mob and hamas a bit hypocritical.
Then again most world governments have got shady dodgy members.

Interesting post from Good Oil General Debate today on "Green Mindset"
If we ignore the craziness of the Greens in NZ and think instead of "Green" as a philosophy and political view of the world, then it helps (at least for me) to make some sense of what seems insensible. We see this in our own country coming from the main, if not all, political parties.
In Germany the Greens have become part of the Government. Now that they have power they are really showing their hand.
What follows is a quotation from Green Party politician, Julia Willie Hamburg, who has been placed on the supervisory board of Volkswagen. The translation is from Eugyppius's Substack. She doesn't own a car, but she "knows" what needs to happen to the motor vehicle industry. VW are laying off tens of thousands of workers and closing three of their factories.
Eugyppius comments "That is a very big deal, because VW have never closed a single German factory before. Hamburg is merely symptomatic of a broader phenomenon. Germany has succumbed to political forces that have nothing but indifference and disdain for the industries that have made us prosperous. Our sitting Economics Minister, Robert Habeck, gave an interview to taz in 2011 in which he said that “fewer cars will not lead to less economic growth, but to new industries,” and attacked “the old growth theory, based on gross domestic product.” "
As I read this I was thinking the same sort of "logic" is happening in NZ in relation to agriculture. Our agricultural industry is slowly being strangled by policies via RMA and climate change abatement. The end result will be like the de-industrialisation of Germany.
Here are the thoughts of Julia Willie Hamburg:
"Talking about rationing: It’s clear that if we shrink economically, we won’t have to be as poor as the British were in 1939; rather, we’d have to be as rich as the West Germans were in 1978. That is a huge difference, because we can take advantage of all the growth of the post-war period and the entire economic miracle."
"The central elements of the economy would have to be rationed. First of all, living space, because cement emits endless amounts of CO2. Actually, new construction would have to be banned outright and living space rationed to 50 square metres per capita. That should actually be enough for everyone. Then meat would have to be rationed, because meat production emits enormous amounts of CO2. You don't have to become a vegetarian, but you’ll have to eat a lot less meat."
"Then train travel has to be rationed. So this idea, which many people also have – ‘so okay then I don’t have a car but then I always travel on the Intercity Express trains’ – that won’t work either, because of course air resistance increases with speed. Yes, it’s all totally insane. Trains won’t be allowed to travel faster than 100 kilometres per hour, but you can still travel around locally quite a lot. This is all in my book, okay? But I didn’t expand on it there because I didn’t want to scare all the readers."
"But it’s clear that when the economy shrinks – the wealth that exists, including financial wealth, loses its value. So the savings that are there are then largely gone, all right? Of course, millionaires have the largest savings, but it’s also true that the upper middle class, who are sitting here now, with a university education, also have savings. Some of that would be gone."
"Then there would be no more banks, because they can’t grant loans so they’d have to collapse. And money itself would have only a limited significance, so to speak, because so much is only available if you have your ration card. So I mean, what use is money to me if I can only get water if I have a water card, or what use is money to me if I am not allowed to live in more than 50 square metres anyway, and so on and so forth. So you have to say that in this system, money as we know it today loses some of its function"
Just keep in mind those who think the above are great ideas, call anyone who doesn't agree with them right wing extremists.
Sounds very much to me like life in the old Soviet Bloc countries, which of course is where the German Greens have their roots

haha, what a fruit cake... But in reality - that's awesome, surely he'll be the gift that keeps the continuation of making the gangrenes unelectable, going. Throw in a bit of TPM in there and the left are unelectable. |

Throw in a bit of TPM in there and the left are unelectable. That look he's giving the Gay Mexican, that is not a normal look you'd give a colleague. That is a look you give someone you are flirting with. How long until it turns out male Greens MP's are having an affair? |

'breaths sigh of relief' Just when you were thinking the real life clown show that is the gangrenes had been out of the spotlight for way too long... Step up this fine young 'enter gender of your choice here'... youtu.be/4K_DtDx1uFkSkip the first 4mins15 if you don't speak te reo. And wait for his opening statement - Yesterday was international trans day. I almost hit my head on the table as I fell on the floor laughing. You're bludging a 6 figure salary off the taxpayers and that is the most important thing you've got to say. If the fruit loop scale goes to 10, this rooster is a 47. |

I couldn't watch it. Just made my blood boil to think that jerk is an MP. That F..wit has absolutely nothing to contribute to the betterment of NZ society. I'll go and have a beer now to calm me down.

Well, maybe 25 seconds. Do you think he is going after the trans vote much? What a spinner. Tell you what looks really stupid. All those privileged Green MP's living in a safe and peaceful country all wearing Palestinian scarves (what are the called? Keffiyeh, had to google it). It just looks like the most ridiculous tokenism. I think you guys may know my view on that conflict, but that display of entirely ineffective tokenism from the Greens actually winds me up. I'm actually really annoyed that the whole Israel / Gaza thing is a left v right type of political issue. It should be a humanity issue. And that goes both ways - both sides have suffered horrific losses and people on both sides should be able to live in peace and security. But for some reason it always seems to come back to a left v right kind of binary thing. And the Greens just sit there looking stupid and smug and completely useless with their keffiyeh. There is no hope. |

It just looks like the most ridiculous tokenism. Even more funny, if they lived there the women wouldnt be in parliament and most of their male counterparts would be thrown from buildings. |

There is no hope. Fuckin right on fish , now’s not the time for brand loyalty . There’s a bunch of fucktards trying to steal the show that don’t even fit on the political spectrum and are way ahead of the field on brand loyalty , that’s why they are billionaires . The subliminal 4D chess being played out via social media is working perfectly , they have some of the best marketing brains and algorithms at their disposal . |
