		<description><![CDATA[Tony Ryall has, once again, taken the moral low road and is refusing to ban cigarette displays in shops despite evidence that cigarette displays increase teenage smoking. This in a week that a similar ban was announced in Northern Ireland, joining bans in Ireland, Canada, England, Wales, much of Australia… oh shall I just call [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we look certain to see National repeal most of the Electoral Finance Act under urgency. While Simon Power is publicly stating they&#8217;re going to keep the disclosure rules, which sounds good but … as National well knows the disclosure rules have loopholes.
Like the old rules they allow organisations and individuals to wash large [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why would someone give $100,000 to a political party? Because they know that money makes a difference in politics, even if they don&#8217;t want a personal pay back, they believe that the money will help the party advance its agenda. 
One of the principles of democracy is described as &#8220;one person one vote&#8221;, which is to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the right&#8217;s many complaints about Owen Glenn&#8217;s contribution to Peters&#8217; legal fees was that Glenn&#8217;s not resident in New Zealand; he&#8217;s not even eligible to vote here. Like Glenn&#8217;s donations to Peters fees and the Labour party, the controversial Vela donations were from a source unable to vote: the donations were from companies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the run up to the election there was massive hypocrisy in the right complaining about the Electoral Finance Act while simultaneously amping up the fuss around New Zealand First finances; complaining about the exploitation of loopholes that the EFA they so hate was supposed to close. So I thought I&#8217;d use this as a [...]]]></description>
