Campbell Live on billboards

had a very amusing segment on election billboards (and incidentially in the main TV3 news bulletin they twice showed the online billboard showing Helen and Winston holding hands together). Well worth viewing.

John Campbell's comments in summary were:

  • National billboard disguised as an Air NZ ad, or spend your on air travel
  • billboard modelled on North Koran campaign with President Helen, the great herself. Joked they removed “or else” after the words “Party Vote Labour”
  • have best billboard so far by a mile

's comments in summary were:

  • Nat billboard was written by an undertaker – wave goodbye to higher taxes, not your loved ones!
  • Hutch suggested better billboard would have been “Hi , Hi Oz” and the health one should be “Beds not Bosses” or “Beds not Bureaucrats”
  • Campbell said Labour's billboards do not seem to be as airbrushed as normal, and Hutcheson says it is stupid that they take the public for fools by putting up an image that doesn't look anything like the people see every day. Why would you say the campaign is about trust, and then have billboards which don't look like you.
  • Also loved the Greens billboards – very professional
