城铁连钱2020开工？国企卖身费到2017年即告罄
工党财经事务发言人 大卫帕克（David Parker）
通过出售国有资产得来的钱到2017年之前就会花光光――这个现实对于约翰基声称所谓城铁连线项目的资金将来自卖国产所得无异于一个莫大的讽刺。
比尔•英格里希2011年时说过从出售国有资产的收益正好够作“未来投资基金”――但到2017年止就会用完。
而上周约翰基却称可以用出售国有资产所得来支付奥克兰城铁连线项目经费，但此项目要到2020年才会启动。第二座跨海隧道项目则要等到2030年才有动工可能，就更指望不上国有资产的卖身费了。
所以说基所打的是如意算盘罢了。迄今为止，出售国有资产只不过进帐区区17亿纽元，这是卖大河电力的所得。然而那是因为浮动的投资者失去了10%的股值。这就意味着政府在Meridian能源公司的出售上可能会比预算少收31亿纽元。
国家党早先许诺说所有他们梦想的项目都可以从出卖国有资产的收入里开支――企图以此为出卖国产正名。他们每次都祭出这一理由。
这笔钱要拨给城铁连线项目、跨海隧道、新西兰铁路“Kiwirail”、新建学校和医院、为价值数百万的多个农场建灌溉系统、KiwiBank银行资本化以及基督城重建。而这同一笔钱还一直都被定作偿还债务用的。
比尔英格里希认为出卖国有资产可以为“几乎所有项目”买单。告诉他：他在做梦。
要花的钱得比收益多好几倍，那国家党只有开动钞票机印钞才行。（大卫•帕克议员授权，惠灵顿国会大厦。霍建强议员办公室 供稿）

Rail Link in 2020? SOE sale cash gone by 2017
The money raised by asset sales is due to be spent by 2017 - making a mockery of John Key's claim that the City Rail Link will be paid for from SOE sale proceeds, says Labour's Finance spokesperson David Parker.
"Bill English said in 2011 that the proceeds from assets sales - dubbed the Future Investment Fund - would finish by 2017[1].
"Yet last week John Key claimed that SOE sales would be used to fund the Auckland City Rail Link, which won't start until 2020. The second harbour crossing, which isn't due to be built until 2030, is even further out.
"This is just wishful thinking. Assets sales have raised only $1.7 billion so far, from the sale of Mighty River Power. But since that was floated investors have lost ten per cent of the share value. That means they are likely to get less than the $3.1 billion budgeted from the Meridian sale.
"National has promised asset sales cash for every project they dream up in an attempt to justify the sell-off. They drag it out every time.
"The money is funding the Rail Link, the harbour crossing, Kiwirail, new schools and hospitals, irrigation for multi-million dollar farms, capitalising KiwiBank and rebuilding Christchurch. All the while it's supposed to pay down debt.
"Bill English thinks asset sales can pay for 'almost all of those things'. Tell him he's dreaming.
"Spending the proceeds of assets sales several times over is National's take on printing money," says David Parker.
