Hey Snoop the writing is on the wall they will sell to someone but it will be selling of the company and not the land same sort of deal as before with Hutchisons. The whole past trials and tribulations could have just been set up to get to where we are now with LPC and port chalmers working together to get a lever over the shipping companies and why not aussie ports don't get hammered on port charges like we do in NZ, for the simple reason they are not fighting each other for business, ports in NZ have been dancing to the shipping companies tune for too long here in NZ at the detriment to all who work in the industry, ports and their workers, good on them I say.
The scary part is selling off the working side of the ports to overseas companies,what Labour was against,now with a National government in place it can all change, we don't want to go down the same road as rail with no investment with the downside affecting our countrys ability for growth. Time will tell whether Mr. Key can control and steer this ship past that pirate Mr. hide because he will want to sell sell sell.
