So it turns out that National's claim 85-90% of the SOE shares to be sold (if National wins on Saturday) will remain in New Zealand hands was based on nothing more than a few informal chats with market contacts.
Could you imagine if it turned out that these same contacts turned out to be people like stockbrokers and consultants who, by some strange coincidence, ended up considerably better off as a result of the SOEs shares being put on the market?
But that couldn't happen, right? John Key wouldn't try to trick us like that, would he? He promised us a brighter future.
What he didn't mention was that your brighter future was across the Tasman.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:
1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.

Funny how protests by teachers against National Standards are dismissed as self interest, yet the advice of similarly self interested groups is used in support of a policy.
