What happened next was that the Associate Minister of Finance James Shaw sent an email to his ministerial colleagues saying that he would not sign off on any of the job-creating projects unless the Green School was signed off, and that was the time when you would have expected other Ministers to say, "Actually, this isn't about you. It's not about the Green Party; it's actually meant to be about what's best for New Zealand." But, instead, what we've learnt this week is that it is about politics with this Government, because who won that debate? Who won that ultimatum? Who won that stand-off? The Green Party did. Politics won, the Green School won, and New Zealand taxpayers lost, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
