Hard News: We interrupt this broadcast ..., in reply to Russell Brown,
The pitch gets lost on the Green hoardings
I assumed it's largely visual branding like their last campaign was.
I'm wondering if this will be the election of bad graphic design.
Even Labour has those slightly fuzzy degraded fonts. Perhaps it's conventional design wisdom in a recession?

Key defends his naff video, twists and turns like a twisty turny thing.
Key told Fairfax this morning National's aim was "to have a conversation with New Zealanders".
"We have those town hall meetings around New Zealand n a fairly regular basis. Actually they're quite well-attended and you get a range of questions," he said.
"But obviously it's a fraction of the number of people you can reach through television and so we decided that was a good way of replicating what genuine New Zealanders ask us, he said.
"It wasn't scripted in so much as they are the answers I give to those questions and I get them everywhere. Quite frankly they will be the same answers I give on Monday and in the debates."
But Key said he knew the questions they were going to ask him.

these broadcasts, like the respective party hoardings, suggest that Labour's campaign creative is a cut above its rivals'
I reckon the Greens' billboards are better than Labour's. But the Green clip felt like conventional political comms - and all that walking got exhausting to watch.

good for the poor and marginalised
I'm not convinced that's who their target is. People who *believe* in what the Labour campaign clip called 'fairness', yes.

it felt like Russel and Metiria were relentlessly slowly chasing me
I wanted them to. stop. walking.

More voters understand roads as infrastructure than understand energy and fibre communications are the ones that matter most for this nation's future.
Selling off core energy network assets to pay for more roads is a straightforward assertion of priorities and it needs to be named and shamed. I agree it's good politics so long as no one is prepared to do that.

I thought it was a remarkable broadcast, personally, ever bit as good as National's was awful (and surprisingly so).
Totally agree.

Hard News: Occupy: Don't call it a protest, in reply to Russell Brown,
Stuff, on the other hand, is particularly bad for making significant changes to stories while keeping them under the same URL and headline
Totally, and it's a factor in me linking to the Herald more often.
