I am a bit cynical about some unions. They almost seem to want capitalism perpetuated, because that gives them an ongoing role in life. We said the main priority should be energy efficiency. Reducing megawatts is the key. The best way to me seems to talk about their children and grandchildren.
Most elderly people are less concerned about themselves.
They want to know what the Greens are doing about children. I m away from home in Wellington for half the week. It s not a pleasant thing being away from one s family. I have three children, I work weird hours, but it s something I wanted to do for a long time and it draws together all the strands of my pre-parliamentary life. My background is in the environmental, the fair trade, the electoral reform and co-operative movements.
