Asset Sales - Not Yours to Sell 

 

Assets built up by past generations should be kept for future generations. National is selling off our future, and it's not theirs to sell. Labour is supporting the community campaign Keep Our Assets which is aiming to force a citizens initiated referendum on asset sales. The vast majority of Kiwis oppose asset sales, but National does not believe they have the right to a referendum on the issue. Labour believes that the people's voice must be heard.

 

Get involved

In the coming weeks we will be hitting the streets along side many other organisations collecting signatures to force the referendum. We need your help. Please join our campaign by filling in the below form - one of our local organisers will be in touch and you can help us tell the government that our assets are Not Yours To Sell!

There's too much at stake

It makes no sense to flog off strategically important and highly profitable assets that Kiwis already own. Bill English does not even know how much the assets will be sold for.  He is only able to “guess”.  We can’t run our economy on guesswork.

 

Labour opposes asset sales because selling our power companies and our airline won’t grow our economy or create jobs. In fact they will leave us worse off as a country. Kiwis will see their power bills increase, their shares and profits go offshore.
