Wonder why John Key is advocating the sale of State Owned Assets to help fund the Christchurch and surrounding areas recovery costs? Surely it would make more sense to borrow from the many Maori Tribes who have been paid multi million dollars from the Taxpayers in 'Compensation”. At least this would keep borrowing within the Country. I also want to say, what an horrendous waste of Taxpayer's money due to the abortion of the March 2011 Census. More megabucks that this country can ill afford to throw away.
