It's disgusting that Israel only cares about protecting its rapists in the IOF. There is clearly no justice in Israel for anyone.

A mature conversation? Ok then. I sincerely think that politicians who have sold public assets without getting everyone's approval should be jailed for theft, and people who bought it should be done for receiving stolen property.

Asset sales come up because National's ideologies are not affordable so they can't and won't keep to a budget.
Asset sales come up because National's ideologies are not affordable so they can't and won't keep to a budget.
The question of asset sales seens to arise three or four years after tax cuts.
2010: tax cuts
2014: partial asset sale of powercos & AirNZ
2024: tax cuts
2026/27: asset sales? (If Nats win next year)
The reason is blindingly obvious: tax cuts means less tax revenue.Nats have to make up shortfall.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest.
He wants a conversation where we agree with him.
