Who plans to spend money?

Just had a look at the Electoral Commission Register of Promoters, ie those planning to spend more than $12,000 in the general election or the referendum.

Remember how the left against money in politics, and those evil groups. Well surprise surprise there is not a single business group registered as a promoter. So who is:

Referendum

  • Vote for Change
  • Dairy Workers Union
  • Service & Workers Union
  • NZ Nurses Organisation
  • National Distribution Union
  • Campaign for MMP

Looks very balanced doesn't it?

Election

  • CTU
  • Dairy Workers Union
  • Service & Food Workers Union
  • NZEI
  • NZ Nurses Organisation
  • National Distribution Union

So seven unions are registered, and no-one else.
