Change the record

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The wooden bicycle enthusiasts over at Greenpeace have yet to meet a government policy or corporate initiative they didn't hate.

Over the years, their relentless whining - a bit like your neighbour standing outside your window all day with his leaf blower on full - has become tiresome to the point that your old mate wonders if the public even registers their negative harping anymore.

Just in the last three weeks, their press releases to media have opposed, among other things, the Fast Track Bill, opposed the removal of the GE ban, and even opposed Fonterra for pointing out many NZ farmers do in fact already use regenerative practices.

As Kermit once sang, "It's not easy being green", but Greenpeace really need to change the record.

'Terrible idea'

OPINION: With media putting so much effort into covering the issue of children not really liking the school lunch they never asked for in the first place, it's understandable they've paid little if any attention to the looming threat to the NZ economy - bird flu.
