Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to linger,
Pro-tip for you Mr Linger: if you're going to refute a claim, "Not true!" doesn't qualify as an argument.

Lies lies and more lies AFATECS
Did that actually go to air?
I’d be seeking legal adviceIt did. No problemo. Because it's all true. Perhaps you should've looked at Jacinda's policies before you blindly voted for her. :)

The follow up commercial dealt with the flip-flop, was entirely accurate, and even funnier. :D

It certainly did — it forced Jacinda to take Capital Gains off the table. :)

The runners ad was an obvious representation of Social Darwinism. A monochromatic group of the ‘fit’ run past and knock over a group of diverse and multi-coloured people who are tied up and thus disabled by society. The fit (or privileged) run on, the disabled (the ‘other’) fall over and are left behind.
A third of the Blue Runners were Maori, and one was of Asian descent, making half the team non-white. The others were able-bodied characters (with an equal non-white demographic) who were hamstrung in a five-legged race. You need to look past the Party colours and coalition leg tie metaphor to get to the bottom of your hysterical umbrage. :)

No, the tax cut I’m referring to is the one that comes into effect from April 1. Labour will have to pass a new bill to raise it to the pre-law threshold.

The first was a version of National’s “Let’s Tax This”… was as wilfully misleading as every other iteration of the campaign…"
Not according to TV3, which did a frame-by-frame fact check, determining it: “FAIR, FAIR, FAIR, FAKE, FAIR, & FAIR.”
And the frame they deemed “Fake” was also, in fact, fair. As it stands today, the National tax cut is law. If Labour makes it across the line, they will have to introduce a bill and get it passed to *raise* income tax back to the pre-law threshold.
Not sure how you arrived at a “eugenicist vibe” on the Runners ad, when a third of the team featured a Maori family.
