Key should stop playing personal politics and come clean on Kiwibank

If National wasn’t going to sell Kiwibank they would have said so by now, Progressive Wigram MP Jim Anderton says.

“The Government has been fudging assets sales for two weeks. If they weren’t going to sell Kiwibank, they would have said so by now and made the story go away.

“Instead of coming clean on Kiwibank, the prime minister is now resorting to personal abuse. For example, "Who cares what Jim Anderton says?”

“First John Key indicated his promise before the election not to sell Kiwibank ‘ever’ was worthless. Then he started playing silly semantic games. Now he has reduced himself to the kind of petty personal point-scoring games he claimed he would stand aside from in politics.

“John Key is behaving just like the kind of politician he said he would never become.

“If he wants to sell Kiwibank, he should be straight with New Zealanders. He should make his case for the sale on its merits, not on petty personal politicking,” Jim Anderton said.
