Are they serious?
OPINION: The Greens aren’t serious people when it comes to the economy, so let’s not spend too much on their fiscal fantasies.
Remember when Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor claimed at the establishment of the Wool Working Group and Wool Impact Ltd that it would be “fantastic if strong wool became the first choice of fibre in homes, schools and businesses”?
However, even the Government’s own state housing entity hasn’t take any notice, because over the past six years, Housing NZ has installed some 600,000 sq metres of nylon carpets – not wool – in its taxpayerfunded new builds.
This is just more proof that this Government is all talk and no action when it comes to supporting the ag sector.
