  1. The current Green Party is a bunch of ‘young idealists’ mostly and they need to grow up and be real about the “big picture” we are all faced with here.

    This private school project on the surface feels ‘warm and fuzzy’ but underneath it’s just a plan to make money from the environmental issues that face us.

    But we would do better to fund everyone to have a small garden to grow their own food as our forefathers did before the 1960’s as an elder I recall being given a job to weed the large garden at the backyard of the state house in Napier and that garden fed six in our family every year that I grew up on the properly.

    That’s real home grown environmentalism.

    1. Ditto. I had my own lawn to mow, and edges to clip at primary school. My own small vegetable garden.

      I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. All state houses should be planted out with fruit trees.

      We lead the world with overweight problems (amongst other bad things) and all it’s concomitant health issues, but won’t provide simple healthy aids like fruit trees for the poor and diet challenged. Possibly because there’s no money in them for the friends of the rich.

    2. I simply don’t agree with that comment:

      It is in fact an excellent school but you need dosh to go there that is my objection to it.

      I have several grandchildren who would really benefit from this type of education frankly

      The one size fits all system we have does okay for some but why fit a square peg into a round hole. We should have alternative types of education and I note that there are an increasing number of schools popping up that have more of an outdoor focus which is great.

      If Steiner can get funding surely we can have more alternative schools.

  2. It’s why I think you are off thinking Billy TK appeals to the right wing: there are a bunch of well-healed anti vax Gaia worshipers they will drag off the greens.

  3. It’s true. They did plant crystals ! And here am I growing kale and beans and hoping to get the tomatoes in before Labour weekend…

    Suddenly, Gareth Hughes seeking to domicile on an uninhabited island in Otago Harbour, seems to be the most reasonable reaction to his valiant immersion in the N Z Greens, and I wish him all the best.

  4. Well. there are those who are of the opinion that COVID-19 originated in Fort Detrick, USA, NOT Wuhan, CHINA. Made by MAN – not a pangolin.

    1. You’re going to have to repost where you read that information so people can make up their own mind.
