National Using EFA To Restrict Free Speech

The Weekend Herald is this morning reporting that National is taking the Electoral Commission and the EPMU to court to challenge the Commission’s decision to allow the union to register as a third party under the Electoral Finance Act.

It is certainly ironic that the one political group who campaigned so vigorously against the Act, claiming it restricted free speech, are also the first people to try and use the Act’s provisions to do just that.
