Considering the national interest before selling nz assets to the world, could be the pathway towards isolationism and away from globalisation. Uncomfortable for those that believe private individuals will make a better decision than a govt appointed organisation. Good or bad who knows.

Do you also get your information from Mike Hosking, Leighton Smith and talk back radio? Sounds more like an attempt to fill up some time and space rather than news. I guess their job is to keep viewers/listeners engaged. Trying to create news from nothing must be difficult.
