He invented “Fuck John Key!” too, just quietly.

Nor does it read as such. It’s much more “this is what I’ve been doing” than “vote for me!”
It seems to me and I think this needs closer attention, that if the material is coming from a left leaning site/person then the Electoral Commission gets their heckles up and wags the waggyfinger. I see no such thing pertaining to right whingers. Please correct me if you have seen such fairness.

How is this even legal?
On the legality bit, although totally off the Fisher/Slater debacle.
Forging a signature on a document, as Collins allegedly did, carries a max 10 year jail term, instant dismissal from Parliament as the jail time is over 2 years. -

Slater publishing anything vaguely incriminating.
My thought too...
