In all honesty if an American student showed up on my doorstep to talk to me abt the NZ election I’d say “go home, yr ppl need you more”.

re Labour's volunteer campaign-I don't think i've EVER seen this many Nats concerned about poor living conditions in NZ accommodation #NZPol
Isn’t the real story here that when they found out about the problem they admitted it and fixed it or is that not news
I think this is a valid point. What a lot of the #LabourCamp coverage misses is all about how awesome Labour is. That's the real story.

What #LabourCamp shows is that maybe Labour's supposed great ground game isn't living up to the hype
If you can billet one of the #LabourCamp refugees in Wellington please touch base. #rtpt
I have been contacted by a couple of the #LabourCamp refuges and I am approaching some of the @TaxpayersUnion donors to see if we can help.
The Awataha Marae looks like an amazing place & I would love to stay there for the Cultural experience & cooked kai 3 times a day!

Union money behind Labour's intern scheme So-called 'old school' union leaders like Ken Douglas would not have tolerated flakey approach.
Hey @nzlabour, it would be a really, transparent if you could release all the victims from any gagging agreement you got them to sign.
Words like "slum, slave, sweatshop" are now synonymous with Awataha Marae, thanx to rightwing political spin. #dirtypolitics
Newshub is describing the student scheme as a "scam" It was a big cock up that damages Labour - but is it a scam?

One take I'm hating about this Labour volunteer story is leftwing people defending unpaid internships as good. They aren't. Normal != good.
I don't buy it, but a plausible case could be made that Matt McCarten has never deviated from his life's mission to destroy the Labour Party
*Labour sees a smoking gun left by National* Labour: What should we do with this? Labour shoots themselves in the foot with it
Is there somewhere we can donate to the #LabourCamp victims?
Christopher Bishop @cjsbishop
At what point does Matt McCarten lose the "master strategist" and "master campaigner" moniker usually affixed to him?
Not content to let Todd Barclay hog the limelight, @nzlabour seizes it back with a potent mix of hypocrisy & scandal
Wow! The real problem with the "Bungled Intern Scheme" is just that it was too gosh darn successful!
Only the labour party could fuck up 100 people willing to fly to nz to volunteerfor 3 months.
Good that Labour will look after interns better, but still bullshit that they're bringing foreigners in to campaign for lower immigration
I dnt understnd how the party of workers cld think using unpaid interns, a system based on the exploitation of young ppl, was a good idea.
"Let's just do it and be legends" - Matt McCarten, I guess

Labour promises: * better housing * crack down on low-skilled migrants * higher wages * crack down on dodgy PTEs Delivers: #LabourCamp

Well considering Labour calls fishing ship workers “slaves” I can't see how designating “interns” slaves is unfair.
Labour’s interns screwup is a big own goal. But excited righties shouldn’t call a marae a “slum” + should look up “slavery” in a dictionary.
This Campaign for Change thing linked to Labour is an absolute disgrace. Did Future of Work recommend unpaid intern int.students? #nzpol
You honestly could not make this shit up. Labour Party's unpaid migrant worker campaigners aren't happy: http://politik.co.nz/en/content/politics/1124/ …
