If John Keys really classes him self as a New Zealander he shouldnt be selling NZ assests as I am worried that they might destroy our beautiful green grass and the resources that this lovely country has. our generations of New Zealanders want be able to enjoy these. the water to Maori people is spiritual to them because they thank the sea and the land for providing food and other resources "its called respect if you know what that means" and if this falls into the hands of foreigners this who knows what will be left of it.
