Keep our Assets – Dunedin Rally

Keep our Assets Rally in Dunedin, a set on Flickr.

A large rally was held in Dunedin, New Zealand today to protest against the current governments move to sell major New Zealand assets.

To me, the sale of assets in this way, would be like selling the house you live in to pay of debt while hoping that the new owner of your home does not evict you or charge you more for living there.

The sale of assets is a short-sighted solution to a national debt crisis without any consideration of the long-term consequences of the sale on future generations.
