Young Nats Fend Off Mr Burns And Justice League


*Young Nats Fend Off Mr Burns And The Justice League*

***27 September 2010 - New Zealand Young Nats - Media Statement*

Northern Young Nats want the label 'Labour Party aligned' used for members of the Labour Party.

Our North Harbour branch deputy chairman Joseph Bergin, 18, is an extremely positive and capable candidate for the Takapuna/Devonport local board.

Joe is a sterling contributor and respected leader in the Young Nats, he has demonstrated foresight and maturity in teaming up with Shore Voice – a strong, committed bipartisan ticket, proudly campaigning to serve the North Shore community.

Northern Young Nats Chairman Sean Topham says, "Politics aside, young candidates are refreshing and far more interesting than recycling the zombies of local government."

"Trotting out lefty political labels on young centre-right candidates and their team mates is frustrating but we understand that old timers tend to get confused.”

"Mr Burns and Auckland's centre-right 'Justice League' have spat the dummy over a few emails.”

"It's probably in their best interests to leave Generation Y in charge of technology matters, we suggest they take on the noble challenge of a Sudoku or crossword.”

Northern Young Nats call on voters to mobilise, so get those ballots in the post before 6th October!
