Green Party duped in hoax e-mail
The Green Party has been embarrassed by a hoax e-mail.
Phil Gully contacted the Greens seeking a ban on a substance he says kills thousands each year.
He said the substance, dihydrogen monoxide, is used in nuclear submarines and is present in acid rain.
Sue Kedgley's office replied, saying it was sure the Greens would support such a ban.
Dihyrdrogen monoxide is commonly known as water.
National's Nick Smith says the incident shows just how scientifically illiterate the Greens are.
