The list of those siding with Big Business reads like a Who's - Who of Wellington's Right-wing "Yes"-Men & Women.
The likes of Ahipene Mercer - purporting to be 'the People's Candidate' and Wade-Brown with her supposed 'Green' policies - should be ASHAMED!!

VOTERS BEWARE!!

Those two in particular have been seduced by the Right-Wing pair of Shaw & Prendergast.

I bet they try to stand as 'Centre - Left' Candidates this year...

They both exhibit more bias than a Lawn Bowl!!

SHAME ON YOU BOTH!!
