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.
