From an Ian Taylor opinion piece behind paywall in the Herald today
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...F3K5V62CSZ24A/, where he mentions his experience with Marama Davidson at a Leaders debate before last year's election. Proves once again that The Green Party is no longer an environmental party and hasn't been for a while :
"That night Marama Davidson hardly mentioned climate - the dialogue was all about the rich hiding their wealth in their back pockets. When she finally got around to mentioning climate change her observation was that those who thought technology would fix it were fooling themselves.
I thought, she couldn’t really mean that, so I approached her privately after the event only to be summarily dismissed with a comment along these lines - “I have heard this stuff before - I don’t need to hear it from you.”
This was the co-leader of the Green Party and, in contrast to my experience at the Bluegreen Forum, I left that night truly depressed."
