Orangutan And Grim Reaper Protest Outside ANZ

The Green party have just posted a press release entitled "Orangutan And Grim Reaper Protest Outside ANZ"

Does that make them a "deadly bunch of chimps?"

Seriously - good on people for taking a stand on what they believe. Unfortunately, this kind of protest by a political party makes it less credible to working in parliament (can you imagine a Green member as minister of Finance when they are trying to publicly humiliate banks?).

It is right and proper for groups to "have their say." Political parties, though, should have their say in parliament and be engaging in dialog with the public.
