停止国有资产出售，先听听人民的声音！
工党国有资产事务发言人 克雷顿•柯斯格罗夫 （Clayton Cosgrove）
国有资产出售计划必须暂停，等到全民公投结果出来再作最后决定。新西兰人有权让约翰基知道他们对出售国有资产的看法。
新西兰人几乎是一边倒地反对出售国有资产。最近的民调显示超过85%以上的国人对于购买Meridian电力股兴趣缺缺。他们不想自已的资产被卖给私人投机商并眼看着这些钱流失海外。
约翰基先前拒绝听取人民的呼声。但现在我们全体百姓终于可以有发言权了。如果他竟无视这次全民公投的结果，就会让新西兰人看清他的傲慢嘴脸。
约翰基必须尊重民主进程。超过32.7万新西兰人已经呼吁就国有资产出售进行一次全民公投。他们的呼声理应得到重视。
在人们的公投结果出来之前，所有的国有资产出售计划都必须暂停。这保括正准备出售出售的Meridian。
这次公投的结果将是新西兰人民的胜利。它将是压垮约翰基所领导政府的道义权威性的最后一根稻草。
出售国有资产如大河电力的后果已经是有目共睹。股价大幅下挫，1.4亿的红利流失到私人投机商手中。
整个出售国有资产项目就是一出闹剧，现在新西兰人终于有权把这个事实告诉约翰基了。 （克雷顿•柯斯格罗夫 议员授权 惠灵顿国会大厦 霍建强议员办公室 供稿）

SOE Spokesperson
2 September 2013 MEDIA STATEMENT
Stop asset sales until people’s voice is heard
The asset sales programme must be halted until after the citizens’ referendum so that all New Zealanders have the right to tell John Key what they think of his SOE sell-off, says Labour’s SOEs spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove.
“New Zealanders overwhelmingly oppose asset sales. Recent polls show over 85 per cent have no interest in buying Meridian shares. They don’t want their assets sold off to private investors and see the money flow offshore.
“John Key has refused to listen to the people. But now all of us can have our say. If he brushes off this referendum it will show New Zealanders just how arrogant he is.
“John Key must respect the democratic process. Over 327,000 Kiwis have called for a referendum. Their voice must be heard.
“All asset sales should be halted until people have their say in the referendum. That includes Meridian, which is set to go on the block.
“This referendum result will be a victory for New Zealanders. It will kick the last leg of the stool out from under John Key’s moral authority.
“We have seen the outcome of asset sales with Mighty River Power. The share price has tanked and over $140 million in dividends is going to private investors.
“The programme is a farce and Kiwis now have the right to tell that to John Key,” says Clayton Cosgrove.
