He doesn't have to pick on anything - the Greens provide the entertainment at every turn. I see P Horomias old seat has dragged candidates from all parties and a couple of independants. If I was Labour or Maori Party, I would be asking the Greens "why are you trying to take votes away from us when you haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of getting in?" If Labour was to lose this seat, even to the Maori Party, it would be an ominous sign - but I don't think that they will.
The Greens don't just listen, they do their research. Here's something they put out yesterday, it's full of undeniable facts.

There is no manufacturing crisis in NZ, despite the screams from the Greens. Another policy/issue where they have got it completely wrong
A BusinessNZ survey? They're fairly pro-National, so you'd be safe on that website, Iceman.
Maybe these guys were closer to the mark, in 1981.

Well, it was just a survey, carried out with a limited budget, on surviving/prospering businesses.
Looking up the links on the "no depression" song, I found Metiria Turei's maiden speech (she sang a version of it). I might not agree with all of the text, but it is thought provoking. She's been increasingly effective on camera as a Green MP, and the Co-Leader.
