National under fire over unauthorised advertising

Annette King has hit back at National in the House today, producing two items of electoral advertising from them, neither of which is authorised.

The first of these is a promotional pamphlet for John Key, the second is their 2005 Broadcasting policy – still available for download on their website, which bears the slogan “Party Vote National”.

    Robinsod, forget it, youre ignorant, arrogant, and abusive. I only engage with people who are constructive.

  2. Dave – you mean “you’re” not “youre” (the apostrophe signals the absence of the “a” in the contraction of “you are”). You also shouldn’t use both a comma and an “and” to finish your list of insults as a simple “and” usually suffices – please bro, your poor punctuation embarrasses both of us.

    So now I’ve offered some constructive criticism you will answer my question? Or is your capacity to construct a logical argument as poor as your writing?

    Correct I couldn’t give a crap.

    To paraphrase another poster on this site – if you took all the electioneering materials from the right and left of the political spectrum you’d have two equally sized piles of shite.

  4. Well, I can’t argue with that.

    gee hs your wit cuts like a knife throught two piles of shite…plenty of practice huh? answer me this…why do you righties spend half your time telling everybody how wonderful you are and the other half abusing everyone..perhaps you need some brain surgery…sloppy axons?

    You don’t get it Burt – I don’t care that Labour broke the law.

    It was their own law, they couldn’t work within it yet you say it’s easy to work within. So what was it Robinsod;

    a) Labour choose to try and work around it.
    b) Labour are so incompetent they can’t work within a law that is easily worked within?
    c) The law is not easy to work within and you make shit up to support your weak partisan arguments.

  7. I still don’t see your point Burt. Labour slipped up through poor communication with its caucus – but Labour’s incompetence is not my problem. The law is easy to work within as long as a bit of care is taken. If the best you can do is tell me I’m making shit up you then I suggest you give up now.

    You still haven’t answered my question though – Why is it a bad thing the EFA has forced transparency over the booklet?

    ‘why do you righties spend half your time telling everybody how wonderful you are and the other half abusing everyone..perhaps you need some brain surgery sloppy axons?’

    I think you’ll find the majority of posts and abuse on this site is from the political left, although if you are keen to see the converse perhaps you could try Whaleoil’s site

  9. Why the hell did I not look into that pamphlet that I was given by two National Party ‘non-partisan’ parliamentary services employees in January? They came rushing up to me with the ‘John Key for Prime Minister’ pamphlet…. Now I kick myself, why the hell did I not really look at them properly.

    An interesting perspective from the Dom post
