Not qualified

For a long time I have wondered at some of the environmental and scientific ideas associated with the Green Party. The following academic qualifications of the current Green MPs may well explain the bases for their views on environmental and scientific issues.

■ James Shaw — somehow got a postgrad degree in Sustainability and Business Leadership, yet appears not to have an undergraduate degree.

■ Marama Davidson — BA then a postgrad diploma in Indigenous Studies.

■ Julie Ann Genter — BA in Philosophy.-

■ Eugenie Sage — degrees in law, history and diploma in Journalism.

■ Gareth Hughes — degree in religious studies, history and politics.

■ Jan Logie — BA Politics.

■ Chloe Swarbrick — law and philosophy degrees.

■ Golriz Ghahraman — BA Law, BA History, MSt International Human Rights Law.

No Green MP has any academic science background at all. This raises two very important questions: Where do they get their knowledge from? If none of them understand science or biology, how can they make informed comments on environmental issues?
