Mt Albert is set to get a new hue - by frog
Green was the scene at the Green Party’s Mt Albert by-election campaign launch. Many of those present wore this most natural of colours, myself included. Party Co-Leader Russel Norman was a notable exception, choosing a blue tie that matched his eyes, but core green issues dominated his campaign speech. Russel spoke of the grey future [...] read moreMay 11, 2009 4:03 pm - 3 Comments -
More favourite billboards - by frog
Here’s a few more of my favourites from the voteforus.co.nz design your own billboard site. First up, well why wouldn’t you vote for this: Several witty people kept submitting pictures of watermelons, but I like this one better: What’s going on in this one? Are they looking in each other’s eyes or breaking up? I [...] read moreNovember 3, 2008 3:48 pm - 7 Comments -
Planet casts early vote for Greens - by frog
Al Mansell, an independent candidate for Wellington Central, sent me this video clip from neighbouring Miramar: read moreNovember 3, 2008 12:25 pm - 5 Comments -
A floral tribute - by frog
There has been a lot of mumbling and despondency from political candidates and activists across the political spectrum over vandalized and destroyed billboards and hoardings. So I was delighted when I just spotted this sweet little counterpoint on the Wellingtonista: We’ve already seen political signs bringing out the worst in people, but check this out: [...] read moreOctober 19, 2008 9:32 pm - 12 Comments -
Letters to the editor - by frog
These two letters in The Press caught my eye today: Heh heh. And on a more serious note: Incidentally the preferential trade agreement with China comes into force tomorrow (1 October). From that point on provisions that make it easier and faster for China to get its goods through our our customs and biosecurity take [...] read moreSeptember 30, 2008 1:49 pm - 10 Comments -
More praise for Green billboards - by frog
Last week we had Decision 08′s design and fashion blogger Sylvia Giles saying: Amongst this racket, the Green Party has delivered a billboard that paints a clear and concise picture of where a vote for them will be headed – straight to our planet. The Greens tap not only into a colour with an obvious [...] read moreSeptember 16, 2008 8:46 am - 51 Comments -
Up go the hoardings - by frog
With an election date announced it suddenly becomes legal to erect hoardings all over the country. And, it seems this game is not just reserved for political parties. For instance, just near Havelock North, a locality that knows better than most the importance of horticulture to our social and economic wellbeing, these signs have started [...] read moreSeptember 12, 2008 4:38 pm - 36 Comments -
A sensible amendment to the Electoral Finance Act - by frog
Another interesting question time today with Bill English asking the Minister of Justice about the authorisation requirements for election advertising and, in particular, giving the Green’s Proud to be Green billboards a bit of airtime on Parliamentary TV by waving round a photo of one of them. While I support the Electoral Finance Act as [...] read moreMarch 20, 2008 3:54 pm - 24 Comments -
Rob Hamill launches ‘Proud to be Green’ billboards - by frog
Was that Rob Hamill and Jeanette Fitzsimons I saw in a cherry-picker on Newton Road this afternoon? Hamill is probably best known for smashing the world record for the Atlantic Rowing Race in 1997. I never knew he supported the Greens. Seems he and Jeanette were putting the last staples into one of several ‘Proud [...] read moreMarch 7, 2008 10:56 pm - 47 Comments
