Now that is walking the walk

Green Party MP Julie Anne Genter has biked to the hospital to have her first baby.

The 38-year-old – who is the Minister for Women and Associate Minister of both Health and Transport – posted a series of snaps to Instagram on Sunday.

“Beautiful Sunday morning for a bike ride, to the hospital, for an induction to finally have this baby,” she wrote.

Now that is walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

I recall one former Green MP in Wellington who was always going on about public transport, yet it was very obvious she had not used a bus in decades.

Biking to hospital to give birth is impressive. If JAG cycled fast enough over some judder bars, she might not even need the induction!
