Utterly scandalous. They are doing exactly what they campaign against:
"A Labour Party scheme to recruit 85 overseas students to campaign for theparty during this year’s election has hit trouble.
The students rebelled over their accommodation and their disappointment withwhat was supposed to be a high powered learning programme but which appears to be not much more than political campaign drudge work.
Now party heavyweights have had to step in to rescue the programme and dealwith the complaints from the students.
The scheme, which required the students to work for free, was to involvelectures from Labour party heavyweights such as Helen Clark and Andrew Little.

POLITIK has seen emails which show that the students have now held twomeetings with party officials to complain about their accommodation on an Auckland marae and the work they were being asked to do.
Last night Labour’s General Secretary Andrew Kirton confirmed that therehad been issues with the scheme which had arisen over the past week.
He said the scheme had been originated by Andrew Little’s former Chief ofStaff, Matt McCarten, who now runs Labour’s campaign office in Auckland.
“There were some issues with capacity, “he said.interns have been accommodated at Awataha Marae in Northcote.

The email received by POLITIK said: “Most were shocked at where they havebeen living and what they have been doing, but are afraid to make too big a fuss in case it is cancelled, and they get stuck in NZ for weeks until their return flights.
Some students left after one day; others are resigned to see it through (theyhave no other option- can't afford another ticket to go back).”
The interns were invited by Labour to help with its campaign.they will be either phone soliciting ( they've bought 30-ish Alcatel phones, and they sit in a room and call, from this marae, very disorganised, many of these people have

Kirton says that Labour’s head office had been notified of these problemsand had now stepped in.
The interns would leave Auckland and be distributed across the country. Theywould be billeted with Labour supporters.
“I’ve met with a lot of these volunteers, they are great young guys,”said Kirton.
“So we are going to make sure that we get out and about a bit more andsort it out.”
The website attracting the interns said the fellowship was modelled onsimilar programmes run by the Democratic Party in the USA and the British Labour Party.
"Fellows will be instructed in the fundamentals of a successful campaign -from knocking on doors to recruiting volunteers to use the party's campaign software - but will progress quickly and ultimately may build and train their own teams and lead
