I called in to see the young people occupying the Gala Street Reserve in Invercargill. I was warmly welcomed and recognised (Southland's a small place :-) and asked to sign the visitor's book. I was one of many people that had stopped to wish the occupiers well, though the police hadn't left their signatures, I was told.
The campsite looked quite exciting, having been erected amongst the trees and covered all over with tarpaulins of various colours. Looked quite 'springy'. I told them I'd bring in some fresh vegetables for them tomorrow, so long as they promised to vote Green, and they seemed to agree that was a fair swap. There's talk of a smaller Occupy Riverton tent site going up on the viewing platform beside the town. That'd be a hoot. I'd take vegetables to them too :-)

Our Parkour crew managed to convince just one to come and be up-skilled in the evasive arts.
One!
Better than none.
So the "honest Greens" contravene the Electoral Act with "treating".
Yes Sarah! Hold on...I'm not a Green representative, nor MP...what to think, what to think...
I notice that Key is promising every New Zealander a brighter future...but wasn't that what he promised last time? The intensity of the light doesn't seem to have changed in the past three years, in fact, there's been something of a dimming....
But you are offering to "treat" people in return for their vote for the Green Party.
