比尔•英格里希竟对自己引用的数据没有概念。他日前在国会里声称，他所能披露的出售国有资产的相关数字只有花在通讯、做市场和广告上的110万纽元。可是早在一个月以前，摆在他面前的数据就已白纸黑字注明上述费用至今已达700万纽元之多。
要么他根本不知道自己在做些什么，要么就是他把大家全当成了傻瓜。比尔英格里希暗示国会说全部费用具有商业敏感性所以不宜公开――这不是真的。正如公众所知道的那样，出售国有资产今年就花掉了700万纽元，预计明年要为此花费660万纽元，而后年还要花掉170万纽元。
如果财政部长连眼下的数字，当他说国有资产可以卖得到50亿时，又怎能让国人相信呢？（霍建强议员办公室供稿）

English fudges his state assets numbers
Bill English has either fudged his numbers or is dodging the truth on the cost of selling Kiwis’ state assets, says Labour’s State Owned Enterprises spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove.
“Bill English doesn’t know his numbers. He told Parliament today the only costs he could reveal for asset sales this year was $1.1 million in communications, marketing and advertising. But he’s had the numbers in front of him in black and white for a month and the true cost so far is $7 million.
“He either doesn’t know what he’s doing or is taking the public for fools. Bill English implied to Parliament that the total cost is commercially sensitive but that’s not true. Just so the public know, the total costs for selling their assets are $7 million this year, and forecast for $66 million next year and $17 million the year after that.
“But if he can’t get the current costs now right how can Kiwis trust him when he says they’ll sell for $5 billion?”
