It’s critical that Greens get massive support from all age groups in the next election. In spite excellent new initiatives that the party has announced over the last 12 months I suggest that the perception of the party is still that we are just a pack of “tree huggers”. Is it possible to change that perception if the party could, for
instance it’s policy on mining to emphasise rather than “No mining” say “We can live with mining with more realistic returns to the crown coffers, greater security provisions and more and better policing/auditing of required processes. Surely the result would be the same; miners would go elsewhere to improve their returns

Campbell Live was brilliant tonight, with a cardboard cut-out Hekia Parata, after she refused to front.
Maybe that’s something the Greens could do when Ministers won’t front to debate issues.

I personally collected 108 signatures for the Keep our Assets CIR petition in 2 hours today.
