在新西兰
关于怎么使用出售国有资产所得资金,国家党现在是一天一个主意,只要看到任何一个他们觉得能赢得选票的地方,就把钱砸到那里。 出卖资产所得的钱怎么用,每天国家党都在改主意。前一天他们声称要拿这些钱还清
出卖资产所得的钱怎么用,每天国家党都在改主意。前一天他们声称要拿这些钱还清政府债务,后一天却改口说要用来建新学校和医院。
22日,国家党表示要把钱花在给私人投资商发奖金。可是23日,总理约翰基又有了新主意,说要把这些钱投资给他刚刚卖掉的这些国有企业。
23日的电视新闻里,约翰基承认他不是为了还债、兴建学校或者对我国资产重新投入而去出卖国有资产。当被问到如果新西兰不是负债累累,他是不是仍将出售国有资产时,他说:“会”。终于,他承认了这一切(出卖国有资产)还是意识形态作祟。
在TVNZ的早餐新闻时间,总理说卖国有资产得的钱可以被重新投资给这些卖掉的国有企业,尽管这与他之前所提要把钱拿去还清债务和兴建学校与医院的说法不符。
约翰基对他认为要到手的钱实在太兴奋了,所以他到处许愿。他忘了――国家党早已在出卖国有资产所得中划出50亿纽元用来还清债务。他不能为了想赢选票就把有数的一笔钱到处许愿。
约翰基自称是个可靠的经济领袖,但他眼下正在制造一个“花不完的钱”的神话,把卖国有资产所得的资金花在每个他能想到的新主意上头。
约翰基甚至承认他的“忠诚”计划其实是忠诚度失败的体现――这个计划试图让投资者持股3年,因为他知道否则这些投资者马上就会把股票卖给外国买家。(霍建强议员办公室供稿)
Clayton COSGROVE Spokesperson for State Owned Enterprises
23 July 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
State asset money earmarked for everything
National changes its mind daily on uses for state asset sales money, throwing the cash to any idea it thinks will win votes, says Labour’s State Owned Enterprises spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove.
“National flip-flops every day on uses for state asset cash. One day they claim it will pay off government debt, the next it will build new schools and hospitals.
“Yesterday they said it will pay bonuses to private investors. And today John Key came up with another plan, to reinvest the money back into the state assets he’s just sold.
“This morning on live TV, John Key admitted he’s not selling the assets to pay off debt, build schools or reinvest in our assets. When asked if he would still sell our assets if the country wasn’t in debt, he said ‘yes’. Finally an admission that this is all about ideology.”
This morning on TVNZ’s Breakfast show, the Prime Minister said the money raised from the state asset sales for the government could be reinvested in the companies, despite previously saying it would pay off debt and be used to build schools and hospitals.
Mr Cosgrove says: “John Key is so excited about the money he thinks he’s getting, he’s earmarked it for everything. What he forgets is National has already banked $5 billion in asset sales to pay off debt. He can’t keep promising that money to causes he thinks will win him an election.
“John Key claims to be a credible economic manager but he’s creating a magical money-go-round where state asset sales pay for every new cause he can think of.
“John Key has even conceded his ‘loyalty’ scheme is an admission of defeat by trying to hold investors into keeping their shares for three years when he knows that otherwise they would be sold straight offshore.”
