‘No’ to sales
Saturday, July 21, 2012
State assets are currently owned by every New Zealander — rich and poor, Maori and Pakeha; this generation and our children’s.

Selling these assets will change this. But who will benefit? The rich, who can afford to buy shares, not the poor. This generation, not our children’s. Buying some of these shares would be a great deal, without a doubt. But a great deal at the expense of others. Say no to state asset sales.
