Hi,

You know the one. Reads the free side every morning, forwards the odd column to the family group, and has never paid a cent.

This is the Sunday ask, and it's a gentle one. Forward this to that mate, or send them the link below. One person who already likes the work, deciding to chip in.

The election is days away. National is on 24.8 in the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll, the right bloc sits on 61 seats to the left's 56 in 1News, and every vote in the last week counts. This is the week the full columns matter most, and it's the week VIP pays for.

Twenty-five dollars a month gets them Ten@10 and Real Good Oil in full, the way paying readers get them. It also pays for the work after the votes are counted, when the deals get done.

I can shout on X all week. A mate telling a mate works better. Send them this.
