Hikoi Starts Tomorrow

Hikoi Starts Tomorrow Opposing National Asset And Resource Sales

Monday 23 April 2012: Tomorrow a hikoi for everyone concerned about the Government selling our assets, land and resources will be initiated by northern tribal elders at te Rerenga Wairua/Cape Reinga. The hikoi is called ‘Aotearoa is Not For Sale’ and will be traveling to Wellington over the next two weeks.

The hikoi is open to everybody - it's about standing up and sending a clear message to the Government that we, our land, what's under our land and what's been built on our land, is NOT FOR SALE.

Most New Zealanders don’t want our public assets, resources and farm land sold to private investors. It is not in our interests to put our future in the hands of a few large foreign companies whose primary goal and self-interest in profit undermines what is good for the country we live in and love.

Key issues:

* PRIVATISATION OF STATE OWNED ASSETS - electricity companies, Air NZ, prisons, education
* THE RUSH TO SELL OUR NATURAL RESOURCES - mining, deep sea oil, fracking
* OVERSEAS LAND SALES - Crafar farms, large multinationals owning swathes of our high value production land
* OPPOSING THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (TPPA) - the impact international trade deals inflicts on our sovereignty

Gordon Campbell: On The US Opposition To Mortgage Interest Deductibility For Landlords


Should landlords be able to deduct the interest on the loans they take out to bankroll their property speculation? The US Senate Budget Committee and Bloomberg News don't think this is a good idea, for reasons set out below. Regardless, our coalition government has been burning through a ton of political capital by giving landlords a huge $2.9 billion tax break via interest deductibility, while still preaching the need for austerity to the disabled, and to everyone else...
