Anything That's Peaceful? Not the Greens!
"Be afraid, be very afraid!" announced Libertarianz Leader and Tauranga Candidate Russell Watkins today responding to
the news that the Green Party believes the occupation of private land at Young Nick's Head is "necessary and peaceful."
"How 'peaceful' is it to storm onto someone else's land and sit there, just because you don't like who is going to buy
it? If the Green Party and protestors are that concerned about who owns the land, why didn't they raise money to put in
a bid for it rather than use force?" asks an appalled Watkins, who points out that "Green eco-terrorists also claimed
that breaking-and-entering and vandalising a Lincoln research lab was also, somehow, 'peaceful'!"
Watkins says that in this age of home invasions and burglaries, it is disgusting that the Green Party has openly
endorsed a rabble of individuals prepared to trespass on private land. Whose land will be next, he wonders: "Will it be
your property that they suddenly decide is precious to some group for whatever spurious reason they have for trespassing
and occupying it?" proclaimed a worried Watkins. "Will it be your property they next decide deserves to be vandalised?"
Watkins says it is time voters confronted all of the parties on whether they believe in private property rights. "Tell
the Green Party that trespass onto private land is illegal, immoral and unacceptable," he says.
"Libertarianz is fundamentally committed to private property rights and to adult citizens interacting in voluntary and
peaceful means - as libertarian Leonard Read once said: to 'Anything That's Peaceful.' The Greens by contrast believe in
violence," Watkins concluded.
It's enough to make you vote Libertarianz !
