On Morning Report today Jones told RNZ that "He believes regional council has been captured - especially in Otago - by "green banshees" who want to block development such as mining."

"I believe the vast majority of Kiwis in regional New Zealand agree with me."

* In Irish folklore, a banshee is a female spirit who heralds the death of a family member.
