James Shaw hits Christchurch, tries his ice cream 'A Shaw High'
First it was 'David Smore', and now 'A Shaw High'.
Green Party leader James Shaw visited Christchurch's Rollickin Gelato on Tuesday and followed in the footsteps of his opposition as he sampled a cone of his dedicated ice cream 'A Shaw High'.
Shaw arrived at the Cashel St parlour on a bicycle along with 20 to 30 of his supporters and Green MPs dressed in green, and also on bikes, waving party flags and trying Shaw's ice cream flavour in unison.
The flavour is a pistachio sorbet with almond milk, hemp crumble and brownies. It's dairy free, gluten free and vegan.
Shaw however, unlike his ice cream, was not vegan, he said.
He spoke with supporters about cycleways and e-bikes and said he was a "cone man for sure" when it came to ice cream.
Last month, ACT Party leader David Seymour also enjoyed his flavour 'David Smore' at Rollickin in Christchurch.
The ice cream shop has established itself as a campaign hot spot, with politicians stopping by to try their own uniquely dedicated scoops and spread their party's message.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
