Minister Jones is both wrong in fact and totally out of court with his accusations against the conservation lobby group
50 Shades of Green.
To claim, as he did, that we’re part of the National Party is a little like suggesting James Shaw is about to join Act
50 Shades of Green spokesman Mike Butterick said.
“I find this type of political loquaciousness offensive and cheap,” Mike Butterick said. “If Minister Jones has any hard

“50 Shades of Green is a non-political organisation committed to maintaining prosperous provinces.
“Minister Jones obviously wants to achieve the opposite.
“Anyone is welcome to join our organisation regardless of colour, class, creed or political persuasion,” Mike Butterick
said.
“All they need is a strong belief in provincial New Zealand and be prepared to work to maintain its prosperity.
