Fair enough, it’s politics. However, what is that about living in glasshouses and throwing stones? Why does no one ever question its agriculture spokesman Stefan Browning’s clear conflict of interest? Browning’s public utterances almost always either contain an anti-GE and/or pro organics stance. Hardly surprising, considering Browning’s ‘job’ prior to becoming a taxpayer-funded beneficiary was as the paid mouthpiece for Organics NZ.
