These need no explanation - the economics of selling the State assets (especially those developed for the public good) in any form of Private ownership is questionable and, as similar policy decisions have proven to lead to asset stripping and exploitation of the country by the corporate "investors," forced governments in Europe to reassess the neo-liberal, Thatcherite policies.
New Zealand has already seen the negative results of earlier asset sales which ended in the Government having to repurchase. Now, driven by ideology rather than economic commonsense, the Key-Joyce-English government are determined to rile the public and continue putting the country on the auction block.
The referendum is the chance to tell the National-Act government to stop asset stripping the country.
