Whaleoil Awards – Worst SMOG

by Whaleoil on December 22, 2011

The nominations are in for the inaugural Trevor Mallard Award for Social Media Own Goals.

They are:

Darien Fenton: for her attacks on Sir Peter Leitch, the Mad Butcher for daring to say that John Key is a good bloke.

Clare Curran: for her born to rule attitude in declaring that the Greens were stealing Labour’s rightful votes.

Trevor Mallard: for all round social media ineptness and the genius who decided the Labour party would campaign using social media.

The Labour party: Where to start…lack of discipline allowing fool MPs to constantly place silly Facebook posts, Tweets and blog posts all over the internet, for letting Trevor Mallard run Red Alert, for their wide open website and lack of security over email addresses, supporter databases, donation details, credit card transaction details, and illegal email harvesting.

Worst SMOG by an MP

  • Darien Fenton - attack on Sir Peter Leitch, and general nastiness (63%, 430 Votes)
  • Labour party - utter social media failure (18%, 126 Votes)
  • Trevor Mallard - general all round social media disaster zone (11%, 77 Votes)
  • Clare Curran - Greens are stealing our votes (8%, 49 Votes)

Total Voters: 682

    What about an `all of the above’ category?

    Darien is going to romp home.

  • Gravedodger

    Agreed, voted for Fenton as hers was in the Monumental division, the others are just business as usual Labour Clusterfuck second division stuff.

    • James Stephenson

      Yeah, but Curran is supposed to the the social media expert, which is why I nominated her yesterday. Fenton’s just a example of exactly how dangerous a little knowledge can be.

    It was so hard to choose. But I guess in the end I didn’t care about Curran’s attitude, seemed typical for a leftie. But Darien Fenton, that still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. I was and am still disgusted.

    It’s got to be Clare Curran.  Her post was the one that revealed most clearly the ideology that Labour rightfully owns New Zealand and its people, and knows better than they do.

  • Ploughman

    It has to be Labour for hosting such twits and permitting such twitiness.  

  • Mark

    As an aside Labours worst decision so far has to be making Fenton a whip, so we have to see her slimey face every time Shearer or Robertson speaks.

    I just cannot make up my mind. Perhaps I will do one vote at home, another on my mobile and another two at internet cafes.

    Fenton was personal and unjustified. Win (or fail, however you look at it)

  • Gazzaw

    I am suprised that Cunners’ Avondale effort did not get a mention. How many votes did that effort cost Labour. In full agreement with Fenton getting top honours though.

      Probably not “social media” otherwise it would have been right up there.
