Radio NZ 7/2/08: Greens can dish it out, but can’t take it.

The Green Party says it will not be intimidated by what it calls “anti democratic vandals”, after an attack on its Auckland electorate office.
The protest group People Power has taken responsibility for the attack, in which a brick was thrown through a window on Thursday night.

The group says it gave the Greens a “brickbat”, in response to the party’s support for the controversial Electoral Finance Act.

People Power says being a traditional supporter of grassroots movements, the Greens should appreciate the irony of being on the receiving end of such a protest.

Greens co-leader Russell Norman says the party will not be intimidated. He says there was little damage and no-one was hurt.
