Mt Albert Campaigning

After reading that the main parties campaigning in the Mt Albert by-election had at least 34 MPs from outside Auckland using taxpayer-funded flights to travel north to support candidates in the Mt Albert by-election. It is know wonder that the smaller parties with their nil budgets got nil percentage of the vote. I would like to be the first Mt Albert by-election candidate to announce that I and "The People's Choice Party" did not use any taxpayer funded expenses for our campaign for the MT Albert by-election. And will be filing (Nil) on all our Returns of Candidate Election Expenses and Donations. A true reflection of our percentage of the vote. I can truly say the Mt Albert by-election voters paid for what they got and got what they paid for.

Rusty Kane
"The People's Choice Party"
Candidate for the Mt Albert By- Election.
