The Ban Corexit protest being held on Mount Maunganui Main Beach this Saturday is to be applauded. Great to see our leaders and Rangatira fully supporting this kaupapa.
When the line in the sand is drawn on Corexit, that has been banned in many countries because of the conclusive evidence it poisons human beings from the inside out, why not do us all a favour and draw another line in the sand on Saturday and ban another toxic poison that also has beed banned overseas. Hicane has never ever been tested for its effects on human health yet we pour millions of litres on to our whenua every year but no one protests.
Why is that?
Hicane makes money for the berry barons, no-one standing to be elected has the balls to ban it.
