We've just been alerted to something very interesting on Twitter; check out this vacancy on the Student Job Search website:
That's right Dear Readers; the Green Party, that last bastion of honesty and principle in New Zealand politics is paying people to go out and collect signatures for their petition against the Government's Mixed Ownrship Model, which they still misleadingly refer to as "Asset Sales".
Two questions come to mind immediately; is it so hard to get people to sign this petition that the Green Party has to pay for people to accost members of the public and bully them into signing; rather like Scientologists do? And can the Green Party give us a categorical assurance that no taxpayer funds are being spent on this initiative?

A living, breathing example of astroturfing.
And you accuse me of using hyperbole, Keeping Stock!
"the Green Party has to pay for people to accost members of the public and bully them into signing."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
Ohdearohdearohdear
Pathetic beat-up post.
Agreed Robert. The guy's obviously running scared of the Greens as the Nats popularity sinks like a stone. He damns them with faint praise in one post and now tries his level best to make a scandal out of a non-issue, while a bald-faced liar sits unmolested in Key's government.
To funny as TCrwdb would say.
You should be beaming with pride Robert; I was INSPIRED by your use of hyperbole!'
@ Judge; I'm surprised that you didn't manage to slip John Banks or Pansy Wong into your comment; well done; there's hope for you yet!
Oh ooo it gets worse, Just look at the Green Party Website Job Advertisements page

Something looks dodgy about all this
the Gweens have a major problem (well lots of them really) and it is a lack of top people as MPs and backroom staff .. sooner or later they will be found out. They are hanging onto Wussell Norman for dear life and he is a known commie for goodness sake (the other so called leader is mad as are a couple of others) .. fun times ahead
"Something looks dodgy about all this..."
Gee Scott, why don't you explain in your own words why you would possibly be wetting your pants over something so quotidian?
And IV2, I did mention Banks. He's the liar remember?
very lame trolls IV2.
Quite so Double D; they don't make 'em like they used to. I think that even Robert G is embarrassed that his beloved Greens have been exposed as not being as lily-white as he portrays them.
You've squawked, but you haven't coherently explained what's wrong with the Greens employing people from within their funding allocation to do work associated with being an opposition party. How is that wrong when it's fine to keep a lying, dodgy lunatic in your government because your scared of him?
double d, they only come here because they are persona non grata pretty much everywhere else. Seem to delight in peeing in everyone else's sandpit.
Step up to the plate, Keeping! Tell Judge Holden, and tell him straight, what it is that's so wrong with the Greens ' employing people from within their funding allocation to do work associated with being an opposition party'.
Go on, KS! Straighten the troll out, good and proper!
You'll keep us up-dated though, KS, as this scandal unfolds. THIS IS THE FINISH OF THE WATERMELON PARTY!!!
This is WAAAAAAAAY bigger than the Banks story!!!! This trumps the Hekia Parata 'Intermediate School' cock-up! This throws Jonathon Coleman's lies around TVNZ7's numbers! This is THE END OF THE GREENS!!!
THIS IS BIG!!!
Honestly!!!!
@robertguyton
Honestly!!!!
We accept that your word is your bond.
