I thought we lived in a democracy in New Zealand where the Government is elected as representatives of the people and their wishes.
Watching John Key in action arrogantly ignoring the growing number of people calling for a halt to the proposed asset sales I am left wondering if he has a hidden agenda. He has his Government steering a path of corporatising the country, relinquishing power and profits to overseas companies.
Is this the price we must pay to satisfy the greed of his old networks of bankers such as Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve and Merrill Lynch?
I only hope that we can stop this process of growing the divide between the few wealthy people in New Zealand and the swelling number of poor. We risk our enslavement to the banks as we struggle to survive.

Fred, the only way we'll see change is for the system to change - not the government. John Key has been sent here to dismantle the country and he's doing just that. I don't however, see change for a long time yet. The mighty 1% still have control over the other 99% and they'll do their best to keep it that way. Meantime, while everyone's deserting the sinking ship of NZ, John Key wants to put money into rebuilding a city on swamp land - what are we at now? $450 million a week borrowed from banks which are in fact, privately owned by a handful of families. Sickening when I consider 3 of us live on one wage of $500 per week.
