Today was the release of the PREFU - the public presentation of the government's books before the election.

Today was also the first day of TVNZ's daily election liveblog:

So how did they go?

Number of updates about each party:

National - 7
Labour - 12
Greens - 5
ACT - 0
Maori - 1
Mana - 1
Alliance - 1

Yep, they even managed to discuss the announcement of a few Alliance Party candidates who have no hope of getting elected!

Good to see TVNZ's journalists continuing on in their fair and balanced way.
