Dr Joy was quoted as saying “There are almost two worlds in New Zealand. There is the picture-postcard world, and then there is the reality,” and that for a country purporting to be so pure, New Zealand seemed to be failing many international environmental standards.

In 2016, Joy was quoted as saying that he was hurt by the incident but undeterred, and that “for every one Unsworth, there are 20 people who randomly email me or ring me and thank me for what I’m doing.”
