Greens Call To Clog Courts With Dope Smokers Stupid And Irresponsible - Peters
“The call by the Green Party pro-cannabis member Nandor Tanzcos this week to ‘constipate the courts’ is unbelievably
stupid and irresponsible,” according to New Zealand First leader Winston Peters.
“Every mother and father considering voting Green should be aware of this policy, and what the Greens would like their
children to get up to.
“Cannabis is unlawful in New Zealand as well as Jamaica and immigrants who enter our country and find their way to
Parliament only to preach the values of breaking the law through advocating drug addiction are flouting our laws and
undermining our society.
“Such irresponsible behaviour has no place in our Parliament and I call on the joint leaders of the Greens to tell the
public whether they support this MP’s outbursts or not,” concluded Mr Peters.
