Asset Sale poll

All I hear from commentators, politicians, the media etc is the majority of New Zealanders are against the asset sales. How do they know? This NewstalkZB poll doesn't bear out the claim.

Do you support the Government's asset sales legislation?

  • Yes 50 %
  • No 47 %
  • Unsure 3 %

Perhaps the best blog on asset sales comes from Liberty Scott, March 8

To be fair, the drongos who repeat the mantra of the left probably do not listen to Newstalk ZB.

Peter, Thanks, That was a good read.

Excerpt;
"So no kiwis, you don't own SOEs - a collective of politicians exercise ownership rights over them, spend the profits arising from them, and collect from you when things are going bad for them."

What the public think at this stage should not be relevant. The election was fought on this issue. the government has a clear mandate.

Homosexual marriage and euthanasia were not in any party's manifesto. Parliament does not have a mandate. These bill should go to a binding referendum if they pass a third reading.

Homosexual marriage and euthanasia are not matters to be decided by any vote Chuck...they are matters of individual rights which stand above any vote.
