"This leadership of the Green Party is happily dobbing in its members to the authorities and the media and condemning their own people.
"It goes against the whole principle of solidarity and of not dobbing in your mates which is very strong in radical activist groups but also in the New Zealand culture."
The Greens were founded by protesters but there was no longer a place for radical activism in the party, Bradford said.
"It is all part of the mainstreaming of the Greens.
"It part of the process of making them palatable to National and cosying up to John Key and selling out their own people in the process."

Bradford's probably got a point about the place of radical activism in the party. But she's just fishing for that vote.

Imo Norman did the right thing here.

Jolyon White seems to earnestly believe that as well. I guess things like ink and adhesive haven't really figured in his reasoning.

It's not vandalism! Except for when it is...

Yeah, I agree. Your right to freedom of speech ends when it interferes with other people's right to freedom of speech. National have every right to present their message. These activists should have presented their's without interfering with that right.
