Edited sentence: Brash later admitted to a meeting with the Brethren, but said that he had no control over the content of the pamphlet.Days before the 2005 election, expensive glossy anti-Labour and anti-Greens pamphlets appeared in a vast majority of New Zealand household's mailboxes.The Exclusive Brethren (who do not vote themselves) have been accused of taking part in expensive smear campaigns in several recent national and regional elections in Australia, Sweden, and the USA in support of right wing and far right wing candidates.The issue of Exclusive Brethren interference has led to Labour calls for compulsory disclosure of large donations to political parties within altered campaign finance legislation.The pamphlets were filled with half truths and outright lies that included outrageous claims that the Green’s policy are “reminiscent…of communists” as well as dozens of other misreading and clearly libelous fabrications..
