KEY POINTS:
A handful of protesters have gathered outside the Labour Party conference at the Town Hall in Wellington to demonstrate against the Electoral Finance Act.
Organiser John Boscawen says the act limits free speech for ordinary New Zealanders far more than the Human Rights Commission believes is reasonable.
The restrictions on what people can say is in force for the full election year but Mr Boscawen says three months is more than enough.
He says it is an issue that goes to the heart of freedom of speech and democracy but the act is extremely unclear.
Mr Boscawen is confident a judicial review will pressure the government to scrap it.
