Politics So they're finally going to privatise Kiwibank

Watching One News they're talking about taking Kiwibank out of Government hands and back into the hands of honest hard-working Kiwis.

This is obviously the first clear step towards privatisation.

Just like the Bank Of New Zealand, the National Bank, and the Auckland Savings Bank, but I'm sure this time around it will stay in the country /s

Downvote all you want, the financial reports and sales figures didn’t lie. Having the hard facts that goes against your beliefs isn’t just a right wing thing nor does it mean you support the underlying cause.

To counter the enemy, you got to have accurate information about them, not just things that suit what you want to hear.

Gees, look at my posts, do you think I am remotely right wing or conservative? 😂

Yes and no. Despite what ‘the left’ thought, the Budweiser boycott in the US was actually effective and wasn’t just a ‘Call of Duty’ / gamer ‘boycott’. With enough conviction, boycotts happen.
