That’s attention seeking. Fair enough, that’s his job, but he could have done his door knocking in the many flat and lower suburbs where the snow cleared quickly this morning, and it’s probably cleared from all but the highest hill suburbs now.

It makes sense though Pete. Door knocking when people are most likely to be at home cause they can’t get out to work. Smart campaigning

Door knocking? How did he negotiate most people’s front steps, his skis are too long to do it comfortably sideways 🙂
Nice fun little publicity photo though!

Nah, if you were a cross country skier you’d merely be thinking “sweet—I can ski today in the city!”

He deserves a medal for just living in the rotten old backward dump that is Dunedin….

That’s working for NZ whatever the weather 🙂

It’s not the first time he’s got cold for the cause: Check Hamish’s Facebook page for the video of him accepting the ice challenge by total immersion in the sea at St Clair.

What is the point bro? Dunedin South is painted in red. Even a cardboard cutout with Labour written on it will win…moving on….

National candidates are hard working and raising the party vote. Great photo showing proof of this.

@ Sir Cullen’s Sidekick – are you suggesting Clare Curran is actually a corflute cut-out? That explains a lot 😀

Dunedin South is painted in red. Even a cardboard cutout with Labour written on it will win…moving on….

Dunedin South 2011:
Curran (Labour) 16,844
Jo Hayes (National) 12,669
Shane Gallagher (Greens) 3,197

Labour 11,326
National 14,163
Greens 4,798

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Curran’s majority reduced again this year – but the party vote is all important.

This is why we should have winter elections all the time. Fat Labour unionists aren’t getting out of bed in that weather. Wearing a suit does make him look like a bit of a dick though.

Harsh call Pete – it’s a popularity contest, isn’t attention-seeking the name of the game?

Nigel Kearney – don’t knock the insulating properties of a good wool suit until you’ve tried one!

I don’t know why a young slim guy would wear a double-breasted fat bastard jacket though!
