Lawrence Party Campaign Launch Postponed

The Lawrence Party regrets the postponement of the Tauranga campaign launch today, due to adverse weather conditions blowing our blimp off course.

A strong south-easterly wind made it very difficult to launch the blimp and once in the air, it became obvious that the blimp did not have the horsepower to make it all the way to Tauranga.

The blimp made a forced landing in Epsom, where party leader Lawrence Arabia had to perform emergency CPR on a middle-aged woman upon whom the blimp came to rest. When the woman was successfully resuscitated, the party caucus took refuge in a local cafe where they ate muffins for several hours.

In light of NZ First's resurgent fortunes at the polls and their leader still roaming the streets of Tauranga like some violent sexual pitbull, the Lawrence Party are now re-examining their Tauranga, and indeed their whole election, strategy.

Look out for an announcement tomorrow.
