NZ's handbrake
OPINION: Your old mate gets the sinking feeling that no matter who we vote into power in the hope they will reverse the terminal slide the country is in, there will always be a cohort of naysayers determined to hold us back.
Three protestors were escorted out of Parliament’s public gallery after heckling as a Green MP spoke.
They also draped large pink banners from the public gallery which read ‘Too Many Cows. Climate Election Now’.
They then issued three short blasts on a whistle and shouted the same “too many cows” slogan. It came as Greens co-leader Marama Davidson was asking a supplementary question to the Minister of Climate Change James Shaw. “Why are emissions falling?” she asked before the commotion kicked off.
The protestors were removed by security.
