This amateur statistician has observed that the NZ media does not cover the parties in proportion to their seats in Parliament. It does not cover them in proportion to their current polling average. It does cover them approximately in proportion to their total donations

While ACT and National (and their most devoted bases) won't find issue with keeping people in the dark, I guess one could possibly hope other not-quite-so-decided voters may ponder how that attitude translates to not telling them everything in other areas. Like their *real* plans for us all.
