在新西兰
今天新西兰统计局发布的数据表明新西兰的出口在直线下跌，2012年三月份第一季度商品出口巨幅下跌6%。奶粉、黄油和奶酪的价格下降、油以及水果产量下降，打开出口大幅下跌的闸门。 出口行业呈现螺旋式下降已经

出口行业呈现螺旋式下降已经有半年，不能再这样任其发展。 国家党执政进入第二届，却仍然连一份可信的经济发展计划都拿不出来。看起来出口行业能令约翰基感兴趣的主要是国有资产。
纵观过往30年，每个失败的经济政策都有共同点，即将一个国家未来的经济几乎完全依托于产品与矿物出口上。
国家党政府一再强调因为新西兰太没钱了所以有必要出售国有资产。
为什么会这么缺钱？因为我们大量能赚钱的资产，包括许多主要的出口商企和越来越多的农场都成了海外买家所有。
所有些钱都不会回到新西兰人手里，而会直接流失海外。
看起来约翰基有兴趣出口的商品主要是我国的国有企业。然而他应当想想别的办法去发展经济。
新西兰必需开始着手扶持本土经济和本土企业。在新能源及软件领域等方面我们可以跻身世界先进行列。
我给国家党的讯息很简单：醒醒吧。过去30年失败的经济实验已经结束了。我们不得不改变我国经济运行的模式，否则将面临一觉回到解放前的命运。
David CUNLIFFE Economic Development Spokesperson
30 April 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
Exports in free fall; real plan required
National’s failed export policy threatens New Zealand’s future, says Labour’s Economic Development spokesperson David Cunliffe.
Statistics New Zealand figures released today show New Zealand’s exports are in free fall, with a huge 6% drop in merchandise exports in the March 2012 quarter. The decrease was led by falls in milk powder, butter and cheese prices; oil; and fruit produce.
“Exports have been on a downwards spiral for half a year. The trend can’t be sustained.
“National is now in its second term, yet it still hasn’t come up with a single credible plan to get our economy growing. The main thing John Key seems interested in exporting is our state-owned enterprises.
“Hanging the success of the country’s future outlook almost entirely on produce and mineral exports echoes every failed economic policy of the last 30 years.
“The National government talks repeatedly about the need to sell assets because we have so little money in this country.
“Why there is so little money is because a large percentage of our economic assets are overseas-owned, including many major exporters and more and more farms.
“That money isn’t returned to New Zealanders. It goes straight back overseas.
“The main thing John Key seems interested in exporting is our state-owned enterprises. What he should be doing is looking at alternative ways of building the economy,” David Cunliffe said.
“New Zealand needs to start supporting its local economy and its local businesses. We could be world leaders in alternative energy and fields such as software development.
“My message to National is simple: Wake up. The failed economic experiment of the last three decades is over. We have to change the way we run our economy, or face serfdom,” David Cunliffe said.
