Paul Quinn pointing out that businesses are going under in the Hutt and unemployment is up 50%. And more of it to come by voting National.

Or a suggestion that Key is available to highest bidder but only on a short term basis.

Let’s suggest captions.

    Do you really think this is helping Labour get votes?

  2. Pat says:

    Trevor every day I get exasperated by our team going negative or in this case puerile. Get out the message about what we will DO. That’s what get votes.

  3. Spud says:

    Key’s billboard foreshadowing New Zealanders becoming tenants in their own country! :-(

  4. Granny says:

    Why oh why do you have John Key’s poster as your lead story?

  5. Phil says:

    How about a caption like:

    National Party signals interest in leasing the abandoned office of former electorate MP, Trevor Mallard.

    Trevor, I want to put the NO ASSET SALES poster on my Facebook page but cannot find a copy of it on the net. Can you help please? PS Great posters, all of them!

    Great campaign closing video (on Facebook). Very positive and practical. Good showing of members of the ‘team’.

  8. Erin says:

    14 years of supporting Labour and i get censored for saying my piece. :(

    For Lease , Vacant Space approx 850cc , narrow outlook may require refurbishment soon.

    The tenants took the lure of a brighter future seriously and relocated to Australia.

    BTW, you Tories have your own blog, bought and paid for, over at Tory blog, or at Blubber Boy.

    Is that the Exide plant you keep trying to close down?

    Key for Rent. Mercenaries at any price.

    Thought the video of final closing speech excellent. Posted it on three blogs.
    It ain’t over yet so good hunting.

    You know Trev, I would one day love to vote Labour, I want to vote Labour, I think Labour’s principles suit most anyone who believes in a fair and equal society.

    I want a strong, credible and experienced line up I can trust to do the hard yards, spend my money wisely and represent my countries interests and advance its standing in the world. If I can’t have that, at the very least, I want a strong Labour party to improve the quality of the opposition so we all benefit no matter who you vote for. All New Zealanders need Labour to be strong so all parties are strong.

    So we need serious answers to serious problems and 100% focus on the issues from the start building up to a scrappy finish at the ballot box. Its now less than one week to the election. Is this sort of post really as good as it gets ?

  15. Tracey says:

    Paul 2.0, perhaps it can be construed as Key leasing or selling NZ to the highest bidder, isn’t that more than a little on point?

    Only that this is a distortion of the truth.

    If the model that’s being suggested by Key works for AirNZ, how come that suggesting the same for some other SOEs is somehow selling NZ to the highest bidder?

    If the issue was that important Labour would be proposing to buy back the portion of AirNZ currently in private hands. That it isn’t doing this just shows that a) they’ve identified a policy where (rather unusually for the present) they resonate with the public and that b) they’re flogging it to death in the hope that it’ll stop some of the drift away from them.

    It’s the same as their campaign against GST. If they beleived so strongly that it was wrong to reduce the top tax rate and to compensate by raising GST they could easily campaign on returning to the situation as it was prior. Why aren’t they doing this? Because they know that it would be another vote loser.

    Who do you trust more – a politician or a real estate agent?

    Since the fund was created in September 2003, the Government has made $14.88bn in contributions, before suspending payments in the wake of the global financial crisis. That investment has earned a total of $5.09bn after fees, less $2.17bn tax – equal to a return of 6.79 per cent a year.

    The Super Fund should not being paying tax – it is after all a nest egg to afford future tax paid super.

    Sorry but Plan A (Labour win) will obviously not work.
    So Plan B tomorrow – Stop Don Brash by voting National to keep Don out.
    Better to be pragmatic than purist.
