"It is inconceivable that you can hold open fair and free elections if you have media intimidation and great restraints on the freedom of expression." That was Helen Clark, speaking yesterday about Fiji.
Hasn't the Herald and a few other people been saying something similar about the situation in New Zealand?
Just asking.
[Hat tip Sandi]
UPDATE: Speaking of intimidation, restraints on the freedom of expression and unfair and unfree elections -- all brought to you by Helen Clark's Electoral Finance Act -- the Electoral Commission is seeking advice whether political opinions expressed on personal websites is legal. I kid you not.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
