Conflicts of Interest

The Government has effectively said no (or at least not now, and probably no) to the plans to make Whenuapai Air Base a commercial airport.

The company involved has accused the of acting to support due to their ownership of the airline..

Now think the Government made the right call on issue, but the proponents do have a point. There is a conflict of interest for the Government. This is of course a good reminder of why it is preferable for the Government to own as few competitive enterprises as possible (few=none).
