Why is it governments always sell assets when the prices are shit? Browns low with gold, Maggie with industry and Key with infrastructure?

Re: National voters.....nice one!
Just imagine if the 7 billion people in the world filled their motorbikes with 20 litres every weekend just to tour. 20 * 7000000000 litres of oil. 140000000 cubic metres of oil every weekend just so people can 'tour'.
Or is it ok to pillage the land of its resources as long as it's 'not on my doorstep'?
By the way, politicians lie, it's what they do. Is a liar as bad as a hypocrite though?

Re: National voters.....nice one!
I see your pastime is motorcycle touring. This will be your wind powered motorcycle then? Or is it ok to pillage the land of its resources as long as it's 'not on my doorstep'?
I love my motorcycle but I try not to be a hypocrite. Your 'do as I say not as I do' attitude is typical of the many lefty soap box preachers I come across.

But environmentalism does not equate to using "old ways", it's about developing and using new technologies.

Re: National voters.....nice one!
Personally I find the tree hugger point of view just a alien to my own beliefs but rather than try to be childish and sarcastic
I will ask you put your case for alternatives and tell me why the resources shouldn't be used.
Back it up with hard facts and figures, number of actual jobs created, revenue raised, and what bennefits
there are to leaving the resources untouched

I see your pastime is motorcycle touring. This will be your wind powered motorcycle made from bamboo and straw? Running on roads made of wattle and daub?

Stop trying be smart arse. Because someone has a different point of view to you doesn't make it wrong.

There's plenty of concern from many sources, and I can't be bothered to hunt too deep, but wiser souls than me are questioning it.

As for my pastimes, I don't pretend to be a greenie, and yes, maybe a nimby, but I chose to come to NZ rather than chasing the buck for reasons amongst which is the beauty of this place.
