State Asset Sales

I am surprised that no one is questioning if the Government has the moral authority to sell the electricity generators.

The Labour party is saying "why would New Zealanders want to buy shares in something they already own?".  However I ask the question "are the electricity generators ours to sell?"

These assets were built by my parents and grandparents.  They are as New Zealanders part of our inheritance, which we hold in trust for the generations that follow.  How dare we sell them? They are not ours to sell, they belong to our children.

Have said that the current government is no better than the criminals who flog off stolen property at the pub.  This sort of behaviour is not new, some centuries ago it was written:

The law locks up the hapless felon
who steals the goose from off the common,
but lets the greater felon loose
who steals the common from the goose.
