Chloe Swarbrick - I like her style

[Aaron]

James Shaw not nutty enough for green party nutbags.

Mind you I think he should have been booted out of parliament after it was discovered he held up a bunch of infrastructure projects, to extort $12mill of taxpayer money for a private "green" school that taught people to plant crystals.

We should have a zero tolerance for corruption by our politicians. Giving our money to the school was bad enough but he also held up worthwhile projects to extort the funds.

and to keep to the thread. Chloe saying all the right things (IMO) while declining the offer to stand for the vacant leadership position.

As we continue to navigate a global pandemic, our planet is burning. The top 10% sit on 70% of this country’s wealth while 2.5million New Zealanders are being told to fight over 2% of the scraps. None of this is the natural order of things. It’s our “economy” turned into a game of Monopoly. The rules were made that way by vested interests and they can be remade. Our Green movement was built to transform the systems which gave us these problems and I will continue to put everything I have into that.

Mind you as soon as she says I need to go vegan and catch the bus to save the planet my support for her may wane. If she points out that trickle down economics is a load of bull*hit and moves to change this, she will have my vote.

Maybe a comprehensive capital gains tax including owner occupied housing, reduce the inflation target to 0% and sack Adrian Orr for not doing his job at 1-3%
