"Green MP Gareth Hughes plans to protest underwater ahead of the Bluegreens Summer Forum next weekend to highlight their lack of influence over the National Government.
Mr Hughes will scuba dive and unfurl a protest banner underwater at the site of the proposed Dan Rogers marine reserve which the Minister of Conservation, Kate Wilkinson, recently declined. The Bluegreens plan a harbour cruise in the same area."
I hope to hear first-hand all about these goings-on from a couple of people I know will be attending the Summer Forum ( and several I know who aren't).
Gareth, like Russel, it seems, doesn't mind getting a dunking for the cause.
Good man!
"“I’m hoping my protest will draw attention to the fact that the Bluegreens need to do more than just talk about environmental outcomes.
“Hopefully Conservation Minister Kate Wilkinson will be moved by the beauty of the harbour and the poor ecological condition it is in and revisit her decision,” said Mr Hughes.
Me too Gareth. Me too!
