Strange bedfellows
OPINION: Two types of grifters have used the sale of Fonterra's consumer brands as a platform to push their own agendas - under the guise of 'caring about the country'.
Last week’s publicity stunt saw Greenpeace put up three billboards in Selwyn River, Waikirikiri – Canterbury.
Greenpeace says lakes and rivers once enjoyed by Kiwi families have become too polluted for our kids to swim in without fear of getting sick: it wants reduction in synthetic fertiliser use.
Now will be a good time to remind Greenpeace that almost 40 beaches in Auckland were deemed unsafe for swimming late last year due to human waste contamination.
Wonder if any billboards are going up there?
