Thank you to the Greens

I’m delighted the Greens are launching a major campaign to bring back the food police into schools.

This will remind everyone of the growth of nanny state over the last nine years.

And even better, what lies in wait if a centre-left Government is elected in future. With NZ First dead and United Future down to one MP, it will be almost impossible for Labour to form a Government without the Greens.

I hope the Greens do not stop at school tuck shops. They should get really ambitious and propose the food police be given these additional powers:

• Dawn raids of homes at breakfast times to check breakfasts are healthy and nutritious
• Flying Squads to swoop on major supermarkets to make sure all unhealthy food is placed on the top aisle so no one below 5’6″ can reach it
• Random audits of teenagers in public places to check their diet
