Recently, a brochure letterboxed around New Zealand and authorised by the previously unknown group New Zealand Advocates for Timely Healthcare urged a vote against the Labour Party in the September 17 election. Another, titled The Green Delusion, railed [3] against Green Party policies. Subsequent investigations revealed [4] the Exclusive Brethren [5], a fundamentalist Christian group who last year endorsed George W. Bush [6], were behind the $NZ500,000 campaign. The conservative Opposition National Party's leader, Don Brash, first denied [7] knowledge of the campaign. He later confirmed [8] he had met with the group, but insisted it was for prayer only. He subsequently confirmed [9] he had advance knowledge of the leaflets. The anti-Green Party leaflet distributed in New Zealand is nearly identical to one distributed in Australia [10] before last year's federal election.
