Are the vandals Greens?

by Whaleoil on November 15, 2011

I’m wondering if the vandals are Green Party or an affiliate environmental movement (Greenpeace?).

Here is my reasoning:

One of the messages is explicitly anti-mining/drilling, whereas Labour’s focus has been less about mining and more about asset sales/national standards and the minimum wage
Greenpeace has a history of stickering. Labour are not as well known for stickers, my understanding is that they tend to knock the things down
The Green Party has a network across NZ, needed for this kind of stunt. Especially of interest is that a number of the areas cited for vandalism in the press release are Green/hippie strongholds like Kapiti Coast, Nelson, Marlborough, Motueka, Golden Bay. That’s a disproportionate amount of effort in “environmentally sensitive” areas.
The press release suggests a specific anti-environment bent as well.

Anyone has information please advise the tipline.

Seems too subtle for Greenpeace. In my experince with them they will just about always find an angle to get their name in even if they “distance” themselves from the people that actually do it. They are a consumer brand and so are always looking for the publicity.

Marlborough a Green stronghold? Please they only got 6% of the electorate’s party vote last time round.

I’d like to know what the Green’s policy is with regard to restoring Greenpeace’s charitable tax-free status…

More likely to be Mana.

Suggested this yesterday Cam, Greenpeace, Forest and Bird, Stop the Whaling, the Vegans posing as SAFE,WASPA are all part of a Green /Pinko/semi Anarchinistic sub -culture, Small in numbers but quite effectively spread around the country and capable of the lowest form of dissidence when protesting anything against their own skewed view of the world
