Russell Brown's Hard News I'm not surprised the anti-Electoral Finance Bill march got a decent crowd in Auckland on Saturday: given the advertising spend, the assistance of such experienced headline-farmers as the Sensible Sentencing Trust and Family First, and a large phone-spam campaign, it would have been unusual if it didn't.
