See last weeks NBR had reports that Van Arkel had approached the government to nationalise RBD through the injection of new capital via preference shares that would take preference over ordinary shares in the case of liquidation. Of course these government owned shares would not have voting rights but it is understood that is a matter of contention Apparently Russell Creedy was doing all he could to keep KFC separate from the bailout plan

I’ve heard that John Key doesn’t want this to be a political issue and that both he and Helen Clark should sit down and take a bipartisan approach. Clark has denied – it looks like Parakura Horomia has been involved with this and been keeping Gerry Brownlie up to date. Hard to know where the Greens stand. On one hand they have sustainable chicken farming – on the other hand KFC food labelling could be a bit better. I’m not sure why KFC would be kept separate – its an iconic brand which has fed thousands of New Zealanders . Its rumoured that there are more servings of KFC than travellers through AIA or passenger bookings on Kiwrail.
That would explain why the Health Minister Annette King is quite keen on the idea. She says its a win win situation for everyone ... "shareholders recoup their investment via a certain fall in future hospital costs' ..... even though she would not be drawn on whther she would close the operation down to reduce obesity levels.
Maybe there’s a hidden message in Jeanette Fitzsimmons press release today: “"There are individual policies where we (the Greens) agree with the National Party, for example they helped us stop a law that would take away control of dietary supplements and they want to see more of the NZ Super Fund invested in New Zealand.”

Surely, there must be far more important issues for the politicians to concentrate on than KFC!!!! FFS!! What a bunch of BS!
Hot and tasty is back... yummm.

Having got ourselves into a debt-induced economic crisis, the only permanent way out is to reduce the debt – either directly by abolishing large slabs of it, or indirectly by inflating it away.
