I’ve noticed that Green Party policy initiatives get taken up, deliver broad benefits, and eventually get claimed by other parties.
e.g. EECA, Warm Up NZ, Buy Kiwi Made, CRL, many others.
While Act and National party policies get killed by their own parties some years later… e.g. ProdCom, MLE

EECA should use this in their promotional materials.
Not only is it possible it is fast, convenient, and safe. You just need to put a large metal thing next to the cutlery to override the safety sensor.
