MESSAGE FROM THE LEADER

New Zealand First is a party that welcomes contributions from the wider public. The following commentary is not New Zealand First policy but covers a topic we are actively considering. We would like to hear your views and comments on the issues raised.


Rt Hon Winstons Peters, New Zealand First Leader

It is refreshing to finally see that one of the two old parties has woken up to the folly of strategic asset sales. So, moves that will strengthen the retention of strategic assets in New Zealand control are very welcome and lessen the alarming prospect of a foreign investment company gaining large chunks of Auckland’s airport, and also of any future predatory interest in the ports of Auckland and Tauranga.
