this Wednesday
January 20th
12.00 noon to 1.30 p.m.
So, from the outset, Keep Our Assets Canterbury (KOA) wants the Christchurch City Council to know that the people of Christchurch will fight it’s shameful policy of flogging off our public assets, starting with City Care.
Just before Christmas the Council congratulated itself on settling its global earthquake claim with the biggest settlement in New Zealand’s history (although, in fact, it only received two thirds of the amount claimed – yet another example of the capital
strike that the insurance companies have been
waging against the people and city of Christchurch for the last five years. Imagine what the reaction would have been if it was a five year long labour strike).
The Council announced its assets sale programme before it had even settled its insurance claim.
Now that it has received over $600 million in one lump sum is all the more reason for it to cancel that programme and withdraw City Care from the market.
It is madness for a city undergoing the biggest rebuild in New Zealand’s history to sell its own infrastructure company.
Come along and bring your friends. Show that we care about City Care.

is local body election year.
So,
from the outset, Keep Our Assets Canterbury (KOA) wants the Christchurch City
Council to know that the people of Christchurch will fight it’s shameful policy
of flogging off our public assets, starting with City Care.
Just
before Christmas the Council congratulated itself on settling its global
earthquake claim with the biggest settlement in New Zealand’s history
(although, in fact, it only received two thirds of the amount claimed – yet
another example of the capital strike that the insurance companies have been
waging against the people and city of Christchurch for the last five years.
Imagine what the reaction would have been if it was a five year long labour
strike).
The
Council announced its assets sale programme before it had even settled its
insurance claim.
Now
that it has received over $600 million in one lump sum is all the more reason
for it to cancel that programme and withdraw City Care from the market.
It
is madness for a city undergoing the biggest rebuild in New Zealand’s history
to sell its own infrastructure company.
KOA
realises that it is holiday time, that people are away, and that the Council is
likely to only have a skeleton staff on duty in its Building this week.
None
of that matters.
KOA
will start election year as we mean to continue – by telling the City Council
to stop asset sales.
Come
along and bring your friends.
Show
that we care about City Care.
