The Green Party is crying foul over hundreds of anti-Green pamphlets delivered around Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The full-colour pamphlet warns voters that the Greens will introduce a capital gains tax on family homes, increase petrol and diesel taxes and cut defence spending by 50%.
Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons says the leaflet, entitled The Green Delusion, is part of a dirty tricks campaign. She says it is 50% outright lies and 50% gross exaggerations.
Fitzsimons says the pamphlet is reminiscent of brochures distributed by National during her 1999 campaign for the Coromandel seat and she's calling on National's leader Don Brash to state publicly whether his party is behind this latest leaflet.
