You should be perplexed over State Garage Sales, so should we all given a bit of grey matter to think with; absolutely worried some of us, and yes National were given the Mandate, now there are so many National supporters ruing the day they granted Mr Key the right to sell New Zealand.
Lots of people were completely fed up with Muldoonism, and thought that Labour was a better alternative with many National supporters so perplexed by not voting at all in 1984; consequently those who voted, got something worse, 'Rogernomics.”
So after that fiasco many Labourites didn't bother to vote at all, Ain't that the way it goes?
However, this bandying about who was worse than the other; the fact remains that much more than 49per cent of New Zealand public doesn't want the sales to go ahead; we have come to realise that 'Mums and Dads' that might be able to buy shares in the power companies, might not be able to afford the power prices when the multimillion dollar off shore executives take over.
It will be lucky for some who will get shares, because Mums and Dads buying the shares won't help the economy; it's the same as Dad selling Mum the television, it doesn't help with the family budget; so we have to think of those waiting off shore dribbling at the mouth ready to get their hands on our assets.
What is going on is traitorous whatever way you look at it.
