A few commenters here were asking how Ian Hayes, Libertarianz’ Kaikoura candidate, is getting on. So here’s an update at Stuff on one of Ian’s recent campaign meetings:
The unsympathetic crowd got their biggest kicks from Libertarianz candidate Ian Hayes and his free-market policies.
When asked if country-of-origin labels should be mandatory on local produce, he replied: "It doesn't matter."
"Eat what you like, smoke, drink, so long as it doesn't affect anyone else," he said.
G0 Ian!
PS: If consumers really wanted country-of-origin labels on local produce they wouldn’t need to be mandatory. That compulsion is being considered suggests it’s not consumers who want them. It’s the busybodies.
By a lovely coincidence we're now living between Mahau Sound and Geraldine, and we've registered to vote in the Kaikoura electorate, so I have a good place for both my party and electorate votes: Libz.
ReplyDeleteGood work, Ian. So glad that someone is flying the flag of freedom in Kaikoura.
ReplyDeleteI note in the Stuff article that the journalist got the ACT member's name wrong and called him by the Libz candidate's name instead. Ian must have done quite a job!
