Melissa of Christchurch - I do not question your right to free speech by posting a website such as this, I merely wonder how you manage to say "Don't Vote Labour" at the tender age of 21 and without supporting any other party. As you are 21 I take it that you have been, or at some point will be, a tertiary student. I also presume that you are not a parent. How can you villify a Labour Government that makes life easier for your peers? Is any other party planning to keep our student loans interest free? It is also an excellent way of helping to prevent the so-called "brain drain" as it encourages graduates to stay in the country so they do not incur high interest rates on top of what is already a ludicrous student loan. Banning fireworks (which is so far only an idea) is not necessarily a bad idea. Think of all the damage to property and people every year. I disagree with the anti-smacking law but I do think that something needed to be done in order to prevent child abuse. However, it should have been put to public vote. As for the matter of the Privy Council, why should we have the right to appeal to them? Yes, we are a part of the Commonwealth still but if we want New Zealand to grow as a country then we need to have faith in our own legal and justice system, otherwise all is lost. It may also help us to be taken seriously by other countries if we aren't always running back to Mummy when we disagree with things. Post this or don't, I just wished to express my opinion. Have a nice day.
P.S: Thanks for not selling my details. The Government already knows enough.

Gareth Lowndes of Auckland - YOU GUYS SUCK. LABOUR IS THE BEST GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD. SHAME ON YOU. FOR ALL OF THIS BS THAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT IT BEING "AN ASSAULT ON HUMAN RIGHTS". AND ABOUT THE ANTI SMACKING BILL THAT IS AN ASSAULT OF THE RIGTS OF OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE NO ONE EVEN IF THEY DO SOMETHING WRONG DESERVES TO BE BETTEN. YOU ARE ALL SICK IF YOU LIKE TO HIT YOUR KIDS YOU SHOULD ALL BE LOCKED UP!

Marilynne Gloyn of Palmerston North - You are a lot of idiots as far as I am concerned who has nothing more important to do. AND SORRY I WILL BE VOTING FOR HELEN

Fiona Leaning of Auckland - If you are going to host a site like this then you should open up your comments section for people to add. This kind of propeganda is criminal. I wish to be heard and you have allowed us no option but to send you our comments and let you 'vet' them to sell your point. I wouldnt vote national if you f***ing paid me.. and firewords NEED banning.. and soon. open your site up to healthy debate or take it down.. all it shows me is National dont want to hear what we have to say or beleive in Freedom of speech..

Brendon Mills - I just want to also say that you are a bunch of intolerant bigots who spew hate with every breath. You and your right wing ractionary PC social engineering agenda to impose Sid Holland's 50's society where those at the fringes of society are systematically marginalised, absolutely sickens me, and I will oppose your desire to strip the young, the poor the sick and the vulnerable of their place and socity. Your agenda stinks to high heaven of Pentecostal religous intolerance and neo-liberal social dariwinism, and goes against everything New Zealand stands for.

Anonymous of Christchurch - So you f***wits think those with the most money should be able to buy elections? That doesn't sound like democracy to me.It must be terrible having a level playing field.

Anonymous of Palmerston North - This website is absolutely disgusting. If you actually knew about the Electoral Finance Act for a start, then you would know that unregistered people can spend up to $12,000 which is a lot more than most people would spend on a party. If you want to spend more, register, which is a simple process and you can spend up to $120,000. And you do not know that fireworks will be banned. If you want to be able to beat up your children then that is probably the only reason for supporting the "Anti-smacking bill/law". The govt. are not causing SIT to close. They have actually increased their funding to their Invercargill centre and reduced funding in any other of their centres because they are the SOUTHERN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY not the NEW ZEALAND INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. Perhaps one should vote National if they want to be able to spend what could potentially be thousands on a simple doctor's visit because they said they would remove the caps on doctors fees so doctors can charge whatever they want. So you shouldn't have set up this don't vote Labour website if you don't actually know what the topics you have actually mean. And another thing, I actually live in Napier and if you list of cities are the only cities you know, perhaps you should learn a bit about New Zealand as well as learning all about the topics under your "not cool" pane so that you understand them better.

Ian from Christchurch - I would agree with this site if I: * thought that buying an election is democratic (I don't); * thought child abuse was acceptable (I don't - I have had to teach kids from violent homes it is not pleasant); * believed in free market for education (I don't - the current "free market" situation is not working and the Labour led Govt. is moving to correct the bizarre anomaly - I taught at SIT and support the organisation fully just not its move into other locations so as to compete with other polytechs); * wanted to see more children and animals maimed from fireworks (I don't); * thought that the highest court shouldn't be in our own country (it should be and thanks to the Labour Govt. it is); * wanted National to win the next election (I don't - what policy have they put forward they are simply riding on anti govt. sentiment caused by dishonest media like this site). Please have the decency on your "about us" page to say who you actually are, and state your political asffiliations!

Anton from Auckland - I undertand that this website was set up by someone who is only 21 years old. It is clear to me from reading this site that this person is blessed with an intelligent mind and wants to improve the country in which they live. If only a few more young people had such determination. But I believe it is a huge shame that your political concern has been manifested by such a negative message. It is easy to say, "don't vote Labour". It is much harder, but far more worthwhile to provide solutions - For example, millions of dollars worth of property is damaged and many children hurt every year by fireworks. The government is considering a ban; which you are clearly against. Does this mean you support the destruction of personal property and the burning of children? - Of course it doesn't - you just think the responsibility for the safe use of fireworks should rest with us, the public, rather than being "banned". I think people such as yourselves should use your intellegence to help, rather than just criticise. That would be something really worthwhile.... ...of course, I could be completely wrong about you and you might just be a front for the Act party, taking any chance to criticise Labour whilst peddling policies which would spell the end for an equitable, fair and prosperous country! I certainly hope not!

Anonymous - idiot

Matt from Tauranga - Your website is such an absolute load of crap. Your about as one minded as they get. For your information. At the present there has been no move to ban fireworks whatsoever, it is simply an idea raised by various groups and politicians due to dangerous behaviour shown by individuals with fireworks. I also don’t see you mentioning National on how they voted on the amendment to Sue Bradford’s bill. As well as getting rid of the Privy Council that’s a wise move as most kiwis would rather have kiwi judges handling serious cases not some Pom in central London. But last not least the EFB is there to make sure elections are fought fairly on policies not bank accountants, and stops outside groups those such as the exclusive brethren spending millions on misleading and false information about other political groups. As some of them do not have the funding to fight back at such large propaganda. If you and your friends at the RIGHT WING New Zealand Herald continue to promote misleading and byist information then you can expect a lot of opposition for people of all back rounds.

Eric from Auckland - I will not be influenced by you or sell my vote to you people who have too much money but want more. Being a 21 year old, I can understand your not being aware of past Tory governments actions on how they try to buy votes. They have no scruples. You will see this at the next election when National no longer need ACT and stand a candidate at Epsom. ACT is dog tucker.

DONT VOTE_NATIONAL from Wellington - WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTIC BRAINLESS WANKERS YOU LOT ARE, PARTICULARLY THE HALF-WHIT WHO RUNS THIS SITE!
