Barry Soper is getting his sledge on
Now that Judith Collins has shown the way, they’re all wanting a piece of the sledging action.
Not a bad effort from Bazza either

Green Taliban
Green power killing eagles
Wind farms in one part of Wyoming have killed more than four dozen golden eagles since 2009, one of the deadliest places in the country of its kind.
But so far, the companies operating industrial-sized turbines here and elsewhere that are killing eagles and other protected birds have yet to be fined or prosecuted – even though every death is a criminal violation.
A criminal violation?
Good grief. That’s just madness.
A few birds die because of some Green Taliban wind turbines, and this is a criminal violation?
Who could possibly insist on prosecuting people for killing a bird?

Green Threats To Employers
Green Taliban co-leader Metiria Turei was on NewstalkZB this morning explaining her threat to sabotage the Auckland Convention Centre.
Highlights:
A Green Labour Government would legislate to over-turn a commercially binding contract.
Taxpayers, ratepayers and other businesses would be forced to cough up the $400 million to build the Centre (in other words – more taxes and borrowing).
Green/Labour saboteurs spooking business
It is official…the possibility of a Green/Labour government is spooking business…so much so that they are writing in protection clauses into commercial contracts with the government to protect investment.
Sky City has announced they were ‘spooked’ by Green/Labour intervention.
The Green/Labour vandalism masquerading as power policy has spooked those with capital to invest in New Zealand – after all – why would any employer spend money here if the Government is prepared to rip up the contract, confiscate their property rights and impose new regulation?
[T]here’s also a significant penalty clause aimed at Labour and the Greens. The Government will, in return, pass a law change allowing more pokies and more gambling. But there’s more. The casino has negotiated itself protection from a change of government that changes the law back.
“So after we’ve spent our $400 million, if somebody decides to take those reforms away, or change that license or do something, we’ve got nothing and we’ve spent $400 million,” says SkyCity chief executive Nigel Morrison. Read more »

Subject: [G@V] Greens@Vic Update No. 2
To: “Greens@Vic” <greens-at-vic@my.greens.org.nz> Hey Guys,
A couple of things –
Almost immediately after sending the last announcement, the Keep Our Assets petition debacle (am I allowed to say that? I think we’re all thinking it!) came to my attention. The Keep Our Assets coalition desperately needs another 16,000 signatures to be collected in the next two months in order to force a referendum to stop further asset sales. Read more »
Sledge of the Day – Bill English
Regular readers will know that I’m no fan of Bill English.
But yesterday he gave the Green Taliban a solid kicking for their attempted sabotage of the Mighty River Power float.
Sledge Of The Day.

Greens bullying the media
Both co-leaders of the Greens were attempting to bully Patrick Gower on Twitter last night.
Sensitive are they?
Referendum failure: Russel Norman delays purchase of new car
Russel had intended to celebrate the news that the Asset Sale Referendum was “on” by getting a “Green Appropriate” new car. One that he could use right into the election, and of course, continue to drive as Finance Minister.
So it is all up to you now. Make sure you sign the petition to get the Greens over the 16,500 mark so that Russel can finally celebrate!

Asset Sale petition fails – Labour to blame
The finger pointing has started.
Apparently the 16,500 signatures that are still needed were the ones Labour failed to collect.
I can just see a Labour/Green coalition last, can’t you?
