Cheers guys.

Hopefully we'll get to finish this campaign without a Corngate/Brethren type calamity falling out of the sky...

Mikaere – Sweet 16 on the Green List – good on you.

Oh yeah — I saw that, and meant to mention it. Nice one — have a good campaign, Mikaere.

Andrew – something like that ;)

This might be more Trevors thing but it has lots of SWEARING and is NOT WORK SAFE for those in fun free zones.

only applies to paid for speech

Nice point!

And umm there is one thing that sticks in my mind about panel vans and its not the innocence of Postman Pat.

I know, it's postman pat's pussy.

So obviously the Minister for Rugby is a stupid fool like Mike Williams was accused of being?

Or maybe this is a stupid & unworkable law?

Of course one could be trite (I know I'm going to) and point out that the law only applies to paid for speech

Is he doing it for irony's sake ?

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that, he's demonstrating that the law will curtail free speech.

I do like the way DPF campaigned that this law would curtail free speech, yet had no compunction to attempt to silence the EPMU using the very same law. Is he doing it for irony's sake ?

Ooh Postman Pat. Good imagery. Now you need to photoshop a black and white cat in Trevor's car window, to complete the picture.

As I think I've mentioned here before I ran off and lived in the US for 20 years – I've seen first hand how corrosive money is in politics – in general I'm very much in favour of limiting it's effect and making its sources as open as possible

I'm kind of bemused by all this gnashing of teeth on the electoral financing issues – it's a new law – there's likely to be a whole bunch of similar cases (I heard mention of a Nat party van paid for by the taxpayers with a similar paint job) until…

I couldn't help but laugh at the Herald – under the sidebar "Democracy under attack" was the story "Parties sday ggodbye to secret cash".

Some attack on democracy that!
