This is for the benefit of the Libertarianz Party who had their conference at the weekend and implied ACT had no position on the anti-smacking legislation. The above (which says Let Parents Choose and featured photos of Rodney and Heather)is part of an ad campaign run in the Sunday newspapers a few weeks back. Rodney and Heather also joined the anti-smacking march from Civic Square to Parliament in late March and voted against the legislation. Libz would do better to get on with their own promotion instead of running down the party which is closest to their ideals.

So they marched in the Liz-organised march and cast a vote, and then well after the law passed, and well into election year they wake up: they pay for an ad claiming (erroneously) they were "the only political party to oppose the anti smacking law."
Not good enough, Lindsay
I'd say you'd do better, Lindsay, to be kicking arse behind the scenes than defending the pathetic performance of your two MPs in the last three years.
Dear Lindsay,
Let's call this nothing but a bit of a disagreement between two good friends :-)
What do you call three Rand quoting drunks?
"The Libertarianz Party conference"
Pathetic performance?
Rodney introduced potentially the most important bill of the term, the Regulatory Responsibility Bill, a fine opportunity for libertarians to play a part in making this a freer country, and you ignored it. I have scanned ten pages of submissions and cannot find a Libz name I recognise.
You know that I know Libz have tremendous passion and energy and great activists. I just hate seeing it wasted in attacking ACT.
Yes .....Libz.....all drunken bravado....no balls.
I don't mind them commenting on differences between Libz and ACT but when they make up things, like suggest that ACT weren't offering tax cuts, in the same post you refer to. Also having a go at ACT, despite them being dead against and voting against the anti smacking bill, becuase they weren't enough against it. There are enough differences between ACT and libz that there is no need to clutch at straws to criticise them.
Wouldnt a better libz comment be "ACT are the biggest supporters of low tax and less nanny state in parliament, but they still support public funding of health and education and big government(even if not quite as big as other parties)"
