Labour leader Phil Goff says his party had nothing to do with a late-night, co-ordinated attack on National party billboards.
Seven-hundred blue hoardings were defaced in just a few hours, but so far nobody’s claimed responsibility.
The vandals spray-painted messages about the plight of the poor, and the spoils of the wealthy.
Mr Goff says he had nothing to do with it.
"I have better things to do," says Mr Goff.
"I've noticed it in my electorate – all my personal billboards have been stolen. I don't know who's done it, I’m not making allegations.
"It's a real pity when people do that."
Mr Goff says it’s just a part of politics. He says every year he has several hoardings stolen from his electorate.
Right-wing blogger Cameron Slater has pointed the finger at the Green Party and/or Greenpeace, saying the stickers seemed to focus on the environment, "Greenpeace has a history of stickering", and "the Green Party has a network across NZ, needed for this kind of stunt".
"Especially of interest is that a number of the areas cited for vandalism in the press release are Green/hippie strongholds like Kapiti Coast, Nelson, Marlborough, Motueka, Golden Bay," says Mr Slater.
"That’s a disproportionate amount of effort in 'environmentally sensitive' areas."
