James Shaw hits Christchurch, tries his ice cream 'A Shaw High'

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

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.

Hey neighbours,

In the lead up to the 2020 election, Stuff is keeping voters up to date with what’s happening in their electorate, through Neighbourly. Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Te Tai Tonga's MP.

At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.

Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.

Why does my MP matter?

The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
