Poor Labour is having a hard time with the precious Electoral Finance Act.

First of all they had to delete any mentions of “Labour” from the budget press releases in case that got the Treasury Secretary prosecuted.

Bill English has just pointed out that by that reasoning the Dept of Internal Affairs is breaking the law, with the Beehive website. The site is scattered with statements statements designed to encourage people to vote Labour.

The Electoral Finance Act is turning out to be a real bear for the government. They are the only ones getting pinged and their mates at the EPMU look like they have lost their voice through their fawning support of Labour’s draconian bill.

The latest laugh though is surely the most amusing. I have now heard through several sources and confirmed with my own eyes that Labour’s bosses are in a fluster over the EFA. So flustered in fact that they have ordered them down.

The only site that is up is the taxpayer funded www.labour.org.nz, that given current interpretations of the EFA will probably be deemed to be an election advertisement anyway despite the public paying for it.
