"Workers of Auckland!! Who stand with you? Is it those on the picket line with you, defending your rights? Standing up to the capitalist machine? OR is it those phonies, those who talk the talk but don't walk the walk, frivolously spending their bags of gold on $15 breads at the top of these great towers?"

"As we rally here, the leadership of the so-called 'Labour' Party dine atop the Sky Tower, in the lavish carnival ride for the rich known as 'Orbit 360'. A restaurant atop this tower frequented by the likes of Peter Jackson, Graeme Hart, Fresh3001, the National Party donors, and now- the Labour Party."

"What does this say about our politics? Politicians supposedly representing the common people are happy to live their lives, run their parties, spending $10 on just some fries, paying $15 for a loaf of bread. What is this madness? This is politics by the wealthy, for the wealthy."

"We've seen Labour's decline towards prioritising the interests of the bourgeoisie over the interests of ordinary people, ordinary workers. Labour signed off on the abolition of the Living Wage. Labour voted down a long overdue extension to paid parental leave. Labour cancelled the otherwise forthcoming tax credits for the poorest families."

"This is why we need significant campaign finance reform. The big parties use all these tricks to hide their donations, and we can see the proof in the pudding- the pudding we don't pay $30 on. Labour has sold out to wealthy interests, they have sold out to capital, and look where that's taking them! I say we take back control, return power to the people, and turf this lot out of office!"
