Quotes From Me

 * On protesting: 'at one point I started "Whats the story, Filthy tories, OUT! OUT! OUT!" I got the impression people were thinking "Dude, thats something out of Thatchers Britian isn't it?, I'm surprised someone under 30 is using the word 'tory'" but we ran with it,'


 * On the workplace dress codes: 'Its disgusting, under capitalism we don't even have ownership of our own bodies, its not just our labour power we sell, but ourselves, its not "we will work here for these hours" its "we will work here for these hours, we will have this hair colour, we will take these drugs and we will not take these ones, we will not get visable tattoos we will do this, we wont do that"'


 * On artist benefits: 'At one time there was an artist benefit, that no longer exists, I can't help thinking, somewhere out there New Zealands greatist artist is at Work Track explaining to a WINZ worker why they haven't reached their job-leads quota for the week.'

Quotes About Me

 * '"For years I have yearned for a candidate who says it like it is. Byron from the ACL (sic) is my man. He immediately endeared himself to all on the left of the spectrum when he ended his highly principled presentation of the workers struggle, entwined with events from his own rather unsuccessful work career, with the resounding words "In short, we are calling for a revolution!". He continued this admirably principled approach throughout. I am sure that if we had been asked about breakfasts being provided in schools (which has become a rather unlikely election topic) he would have demanded three course lunches and high tea as well. When asked how the ACL (sic) would reduce the gap between rich and poor he declared that they would remove it. No half way stages for Byron. I do hope he keeps coming along to our long series of meetings, to give some sense of perspective."' - Labour Party MP Tim Barnett
