I’m sure this is just coincidence but the Agenda website reports on the Fact FIner only covers the story about Lockwood Smith and not the other two which show Labour in a bad light: http://homepaddock.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/fact-finder-doesnt-show-all-the-facts/

On the third item I think the issue is that Labour is using a different website for its campaign http://www.labour08.co.nz/. If you look on that (http://www.labour08.co.nz/policies/) you will see that Labour has released a lot of policies. But this is going to be a problem for Labour this election – using a different website than their ‘home’ website. I notice their billboards state the http://www.labour08.co.nz website.

Interestingly, they also have http://www.labourparty.org.nz/ and http://www.labour.co.nz. All three are different websites.

Very odd.

[DPF: Actually when I look on that website I find no policies also. Just a UNIX pdf]
