really appearing un-slick requires the kind of Jedi master artifice that’s near impossible to pull off.
... only if you're faking it.

I thought Labour's was pretty weak actually. I can't imagine that too many floating voters got past the interminable intro, chock-full of some of the ropiest ancient footage known to man. Newsflash: outside of nerds like us, no one gives a shit what happened in 1916. It did nothing to position Labour as the way forward, IMO.
Further, the address broke another cardinal rule of these things by featuring exactly zero punters. John Key's address ("public meeting" my arse, John!), OTOH, was - whilst curiously dark and dim - filled with a good selection of "real Kiwis", all of whom seemed to be doing the right thin and supporting National.
The Greens? It was pretty good, all 'round, though it felt like Russel and Metiria were relentlessly slowly chasing me.

That works both ways, Euan.
How is that "both ways", Craig? You've responded to "very wealthy people avoiding taxes" with some more very wealthy people avoiding taxes.

Just saw a TVC for Party Vote: National.
It had a man with a "stop" sign for Labour and a man with a "go" sign for National.

Do you have some handy examples?
Not without digging, no.
Again, an absolute indictment on Labour that this information is hard to find.
-
Saying they're 'doing nothing' is misleading at best.
I suppose. Sometimes "do nothing" is shorthand for "do nothing about about x", but it doesn't really matter much anyway, IMO.

Ahem. ;)

Okay...
Looked up the primary source (forgive me for being reluctant to trawl through WhaleOil and Kiwiblog).
Note to self:
Never, ever, ever, assume that the Herald has their facts straight. (When will I learn??)Note to Levi Joule:
Fuck you. You've turned a small opportunity to remind people of Banks' racist comments into a medium-sized opportunity for people to see Labour as dishonest. You're an idiot. -
Isn't the issue there more about misrepresenting the recency of his quotes?
Is it?

Just for laughs...
According to the Herald, quoting a candidate is now a "dirty tricks campaign".
Allegations of a dirty tricks campaign against ACT's Epsom candidate John Banks are rife and the blame is being laid at Labour's feet.
Pamphlets are circling highlighting past comments made by Mr Banks, including anti-homosexuality and racist ideas.
