IWC 2005: Greens prepared to undermine IWC's authority

One more cracker...

Like true nutters, the Greens are considering urging consumer boycott action against Japan in the case their latest scientific whaling permits are granted.

This is just pathetic. Talk about sour grapes - the Greens are behaving like babies.

It's time New Zealand either accepted the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, or got out. What is the point of New Zealand maintaining it's signatory status with regards to the ICRW if the politicians aren't going to take any rulings that go against them like adults? What the Greens are suggesting would make us look like utter fools.

Oh, silly me - I forgot. This is an election year, and the Greens need something - anything to campaign on. And the Greens only need to hope that 5% of the NZ population are stupid enough to agree with their nutty position. Good luck...
