Thats it in a nutshell Deev and you can bet your dirty undies that labor would have given serious consideration to potitical fallout on this so close to an election they know they are loosing. Obviously all you fellas allong with AIAL have been tagged as being die hard national supporters and there for of no consequence. It pisses me off and I dont even hold shares.
A huge miscalculation by the trolls of Helengrad.
How is this going to look to international investment community?
Yet another reason why NZ needs to reinstate an Upper House or give the Gov. Gen. back his balls in order to protect the country from cheap election year political opportunism.
Boo to Helen!
It also seems to me that Clark and Cullen are shrewd enough to know that this move will put pressure on John Key; any suggestion that National would approve the sale of "strategic" assets to foreign interests will scare the unthinking masses back into Helen's loving embrace.
So have I got this right, as I didn't own shares last year, but do now, when I get replacement voting papers (or will I not be able to get those?) I will not be able to vote for/against the proposal, but I can offer them my shares?
The phone number for anyone wanting replacement voting papers is 0800 220 010
Hiawatha, I may be able to help.
I don't think Colin was referring to;
-shareholders
-people who own property under individual property rights ( my father inlaw is worried as he recently sold his house to an Indian family, he is asking how this 'act' may effect his selling to a foreign family).
-anyone who has travelled outside of New Zealand and has observed how foreign investment can add world class property and services.
He may be referring to those who think that they own something because they live in the same country. Some may refer to these kind of people as socialists, or communists.
What do you mean by 'good citizens of NZ'?
Sorry if you consider I was being "supercilious" but I was referring to the large proportion of the public who have little understanding of investment matters. Many seem to hold views such as: "no foreigner should be allowed to own anything in NZ" or "capitalism is inherently bad" etc. They are easy meat for politicians who play on their fears.
Does the proverbial "man in the street" have much of an idea, for instance, of the extent to which the NZ Superannuation Fund invests offshore? And if they have no problem with outward investment, what is so wrong with the idea of inwards investment?
The Canadians have made it quite clear that they do not wish to control Auckland Airport.
