Stupid claims

The Herald reports:

Opposition parties are warning of damage to the national interest, higher fares and even a second taxpayer after the Government put another slice of on the block.

Higher fares because the Government will own 53% instead of 73%? No one with a shred of financial knowledge could make such a claim. It's financial illiteracy at its worse.

Green co- Russel Norman said it could lead to reduced regional services or higher fares.

Won't he be a great of Finance!

Air New Zealand already is a mixed ownership model. and Greens are the worst sort of conservative – they claim the status quo is preferable despite any rational basis for it.

According to Labour and the Greens 73% is the exact right proportion of Air New Zealand to own. Not 82% (or they would have policies to increase it) or 64% or 51%. It must be 73%.
