If National sells everything The youth will be left with very high bills, if national win I'm going back to Australia and so are the rest of the youth! You can't deny the truth!

Key is a liar and a coward.A fence sitter with no scruples or compassion.A wolf in sheep's clothing.I despair that so many Kiwi's have fallen for the 'smiling assassin'. God defend New Zealand from these bumbling clowns...

@kolenzolol Actually the vast majority of shares will go to New Zealand Kiwi Saver Funds, Who currently don't have enough options to invest in here and are therefore forced to support the Australian economy by buying up shares in their companies. That money gives the Aussies more capital to operate at a superior level, a business with capital can get higher productivity from each employee and therefore staff earn more money in Australia.

@Playboysmurf1 Yeah, because lower/middle class new zealand citizens have the money to spare that we can put into shares on the assets. The vast majority of the shares will go to large overseas corporations, and said corporations have zero interest in keeping things affordable for kiwis - they want to squeeze as much out of us as they can get. Not to mention the risk of them being poorly maintained or run down - did we forget what happened to air NZ and the railways already?

@1freshjandal What if Labour win would you stay. Labour is the only party that can stop National this election. I'm going to speak the truth about how NZers are right now. Not all NZers are gonna like what I am about to say. Most Kiwis only care about THEMSELVES and NOW and Not about the FUTURE of this wonderful country and the NEEDY,the PEOPLE THAT STARVE are left in the wild to fight for themselves. The gap between RICH and POOR has STRETCHED MORE THAN EVER IN THE LAST 3 YEARS THAN EVER!!!!!

[Playboysmurf1]

If you're view is anti asset sales, just buy your share back when they are sold to the public.

@Just4UMeplusU ~ I'm planning on moving my family over when I finish my degree if National win. They are taking NZ down a road I am far from happy with.

@GoldNZL Yeah national could win but I don't want people like Paula Bennet pulling down bill boards she doesn't like and a prime minister that mocks elderly!
