The National
Government would continue with the Asset Sales programme even with a referendum
date set.
Though opposition
parties will today table 392,000 signatures calling for an asset sales
referendum, Bill English said this will not stop the process.
"The sales
are going ahead," English told TV3's Firstline. "We've already
launched the Mighty River Power float and there will be others.
He said "This
is an issue that was campaigned on right through election year, we laid out the
policy in detail, the opposition parties had a year to debate it”.
Key added "They've probably taken over a year to get
maybe 300,000 names, we've had 285,000 pre-registrations in a matter of
days".
Russel Norman
said the comments from the National Party were incredibly disrespectful.
