Campaign could breach electoral bill – The campaign by Invercargill to fight funding cuts to the Southern Institute of Technology could breach restrictions in the Electoral Finance Bill – which will be passed into law next week.
Full-page ads were run in five newspapers… [NZ Politics]
Despite an unfortunate picture of Tim Shadbolt the Herald has shown how a campaign by the Invercargill Mayor will breach the Electoral Finance Bill and if the law had been in effect he would already have breached it with 5 pull page ads in different newspapers, showing just how draconian this law will be.
The irony is ex-protestor and Labour supporter has now turned feral on the government as is prepared to go to jail if he breaches the law.
