A farmer replied to that video about who Groundswell is posted on Birdsite. Says it’s a big business march & hitherto reputable John Deere NZ may have lent them tractors for stage managed antics? If so march is a nationwide pantomime for political effect & anti climate change.

Well I guess a first post this close to an election may as well be political… we really need young people to get out and vote this election, especially first time voters. Here’s a great tool from ActionStation to help them: triplethevote.nz

The minor parties debate on TV3 was waaaaaaaaaaay better than the the Leaders debate on TV1. And Rebecca Wright sooo much better than Jessica Mutch McKay. Just saying
