Image via WikipediaKey pitches partial assets sales to older voters, but these probably won't be conned by key...
John Key spoke at a senior citizens meeting in Paraparaumu and said the election is about who can provide stable government in difficult times.
He told those gathered the election on 26 November is about who can provide stable government in difficult times.
National plans to sell a minority stake in four state-owned energy companies but Mr Key told the audience it will not be like the asset sales of the 1980s and 90s.
"Unlike the mid-eighties, we are not selling assets holus-bolus. We are keeping a majority control, and will always keep a majority control.
"Funnily enough, we're not using the money to repay debt. We're actually using the money to acquire other assets."
Mr Key says the Government will keep a majority control and New Zealanders will be at the front of the queue to buy shares.
The fact of the matter is why would kiwis want to 'buy' assets they already own?
