Good on the postal union to tell them where to stick their pamphlet, I say.

Of course, David Seymour is upset about it.

    Can’t they just put it in an envelope and then the posties won’t know?

      Possibly, although if an identical envelope went out to every single address in the Wellington region, they’d know something was up.

      I can’t imagine sending out addressed mail like that would be cheap though. How many households are there in the Wellington region?

        True. Even with discounted postage rates, it would be pretty expensive.

        So fall back to the old classic. Pay some 10 year olds to deliver it.

          According the last census, there is roughly 200k residential dwellings in the Wellington region. I can’t imagine you’d get much change out of 100k to do a bulk mail out like that.

            Wellington region goes all the way to Masterton. The article says they were delivering 80k flyers.

            I didn’t even realise posties delivered junk mail like that.
