Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
People Power create website mirror
People Power create website mirror - we dare you to try and shut us down!
People Power NZ is delighted to
announce that we have created a "mirror site" of our blog
www.peoplepowernz.wordpress.com in website format, at
www.people-powernz.org for the express and intent purpose of
publically violating the Electoral Finance Act and its
ludicrous distinction between "blogs" and "websites".
While the Electoral Finance Act does not apparently cover blogs that oppose a particular political party, websites are covered by the legislation, with the "dontvotelabour" website being recently shut down as an example of this draconian law.
We would invite the Electoral Commission to:
1/ Attempt to make People Power NZ comply with the Electoral Finance Act, by making us publish our names and addresses on the website.
2/ Attempt to shut down the People Power NZ website for non-compliance.
Unlike dontvotelabour creator Andy Moore, People Power NZ DO have the money to fight this issue in the courts, assuming of course that this issue reaches this stage.
So.......come and get us.
