*Labour Candidate Ben Clark has released his own computer game lampooning National's Asset Sales policy.*
In what's believed to be a first in New Zealandpolitics, Ben has himself written a game which sees John Key dish out shares in some of our nation's most valuable companies.
Players are "Mum and Dad investors" who attempt to compete with foreign corporations to 'hoover up' New Zealand's assets.
Ben says, "While the game is a bit of fun, it makes a serious point that National's policy to strip New Zealandof its prized assets will ultimately see our wealth sail off overseas."
Since it was quietly released last Thursday, hundreds of people have already tried their luck at /John Key's Asset Sales //Hoover//Game. /
The game is available at http://www.benforshore.co.nz/john-keys-asset-sales-hoover-game/ .
