As a newcomer to your beautiful country I watched the election procedure with much interest.
As a totally unexperienced and unbiased onlooker, I was amazed that John Key, who has clearly giving a message that he intended to dictate his terms if he was returned to power, actually won.
Thinking, that clearly there was little opposition, apart from Winston Peters, who was being written off, I expected that in case of National getting in, then the country would suitable protest the asset sales.
How wrong I am. They are now happily selling off a large slice of your prime farmland to a country which has an oppressive government and certainly does not seem to have the best interests of the country at heart.
Frankly, with all the money that has been borrowed in the last bad years, perhaps some has come from China and this is now payback time? One can’t help but wonder?
