Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Do Labour's complaints about early voting stand up to scrutiny?


Okay, you want to know what a party sounds like when it's preparing to lose an election? Check out Labour.

They've started to ramp up their complaints about so-called voter suppression. Now, to be fair, this is not a new complaint. It's been going on all campaign. It goes back more than a year. But it really went up a level with Ayesha Verrall complaining that the first day of voting would fall on a public holiday and that "it's all adding up".

Peter Williams: Election Fortnight begins

We don’t have Election Day. We have Election Fortnight. It’s quite ridiculous really.

The candidates can campaign for the next 12 days, but not on the 13th, November 7th.
