New Zealand Government for sale

"Now Available to the highest bidder. Comes with a $67 billion budget and control over our armed forces, police, health, education and welfare systems, international policy and much more. The Electoral Finance Bill does nothing to stop you bidding anonymously, or through a secret trust, so get in."

The New Zealand government was for sale on TradeMe yesterday and I missed it!!!!!

My secretary can't be bothered searching through the zoo that passes for TradeMe community's general message board to find any references to it.

I have decided to get my own back by sampling the shaved ham for the kids lunches instead.

TradeMe pulled the plug on the auction by the time the bidding got to $6000. It seems that you can't sell the New Zealand Government on TradeMe. One must use another vehicle, like the business round table instead or a crackpot religious group with contacts instead.

Good try Steven Price.
