国家党治下，政府将公共服务业私有化，以及削减公共服务就业岗位的计划愈加明显，工党公共服务发言人格兰特•罗伯特森(Grant Robertson)表示。
“托尼•赖亚尔(Tony Ryall)在今日的议会中拒绝排除医疗卫生，教育和住房私有化的可能性。显而易见，国家党是再度拾起90年代的私有化配方，炒起冷饭来，”格兰特•罗伯特森说。
“加之唐•布拉什(Don Brash)被任命领导政府为提高生产率设立的特别小组，国家党的真实企图于是浮出水面。”
“新西兰人早在2005年就对当时唐•布拉什领导的国家党私有化议程说了‘不’，现在倒好，政府反尔花着纳税人的钱来支持唐•布拉什的私有化改革。”
“涉及公共服务的问题时，比尔•英格里希和财政部是真正的幕后推手。”
“人人都希望学校和医院之类的公共服务尽可能高效率，而公务员们也完全明白他们需要在经济衰退时期勒紧腰带。”
“我们应该支持如老师和护士这些勤力工作的公务员，让他们同社区一起缔造一个革新的、急人所需的公共服务机制。削减和外包公共服务对新西兰有害无益。”
“把公共服务外放给更关心赚钱与否的承包商，而不顾人民利益，意味着人民得不到更好的服务，纳税人的付出也得不到好的回报。”
“私有化对国家党来说是正中下怀，却对新西兰人民没有任何好处。” 格兰特•罗伯特森说。

National refuses to rule out privatisation of public services

The National Government’s plan to privatise public services and cut jobs in the public sector is now clear, Labour State Services Spokesperson Grant Robertson says.
“In Parliament today Tony Ryall refused to rule out privatisation in health, education or housing. Its clear that the tired privatisation recipe from the 1990’s has been reheated,” Grant Robertson said.
“Put alongside the appointment of Don Brash to run the Government’s productivity taskforce, National’s real agenda is now obvious.
“New Zealand rejected Don Brash and the National Party’s privatisation agenda in 2005, but now National has found a way for the taxpayer to fund Don Brash’s privatisation crusade.
“Bill English and Treasury are definitely running the show when it comes to public services.
“We all want public services such as schools and hospitals to be as efficient as possible, and public servants are well aware that they need to tighten their belts in the recession.
“We need to support hardworking public servants such as teachers and nurses to work with the communities they serve to develop innovative and responsive public services. Gutting the public service and contracting out will do nothing to help New Zealand overall.
“Having contractors more interested in turning a profit than people means there is no guarantee that services will be better and those New Zealand taxpayers will be receiving value for money.
“Privatisation might suit National Party politics but it doesn’t do anything for the New Zealand people,” Grant Robertson said.
