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'.
And its reaction to the recent Queenstown water cryptosporidosis outbreak only goes to prove it.
When the outbreak was first announced, Greenpeace head of (mis-?) communications Nick Young falsely tweeted: "What's the bet that Queenstown's gastro outbreak was caused by farm animal faeces contaminating water supplies?"
However, 'Lying Nick' was proven to be lying again when Te Whatu Ora confirmed the outbreak was due to human faeces and not livestock.
As one witty respondent replied to Young's false tweet: "What's the bet it was Nick's mum washing Nick's undies in the lake last week contaminating the water supply." Which the Hound reckons would be highly likely as it appears both Young and Greenpeace are clearly full of s$%t!
