Greenpeace has filed a civil suit in the High Court against Thompson & Clark Investigations, alleging breach of privacy and seeking an injunction to stop the surveillance. How ironic, considering Greenpeace activists recently spent a day chained to machinery and locked inside pipes on the private property of the Central Plains Water Irrigation scheme construction site, near Hororata. The group is also not averse to secretly spying on law-abiding people going about their lawful business or protesting and harassing private citizens attending public conferences. It proves what a sanctimonious, hypocritical bunch of wowsers Greenpeace really are.
