Electoral Commission decision 2008-42, National Party (anti), election advertisements
Dated: 11 November 2008
Decision Number: 2008-42
Subject: National Party policy documents released by Trevor Mallard MP and Jim Anderton MP. It was asserted that the MPs released, and therefore advertised, National Party policies without being authorised to do so by the financial agent for the National Party as required by the Electoral Finance Act.
Findings and Determination: National Party polices released by Trevor Mallard MP and Jim Anderton MP are not election advertisements within the meaning of section 5 of the Electoral Finance Act 2007 and therefore their publication is not governed by the requirements of the Act.
