Scoop attended this year's Labour Party conference held in Wellington. In a homage to Scoop's glorious print-post postcard function here are some images from the conference. In the true spirit of democracy there are pictures of the Prime Minister for delegates and party faithful as well as the odd shot of a protestor. In the spirit of post modernism there's even a picture of an actual postcard featuring former Cabinet Minister Marion Hobbs dressed as a bikie nun that Scoop purchased for the ridiculously cheap cost of one dollar.
