As usual New Zealand is hopping on a band wagon two years after it was hip.

Seeing as this is basically a bail out of rural constituents, why not cut them off and sell the South Island?

Sell the South Island. All of it.
It isn�t such a bad idea you know. Firstly it would get through a vote, 76 per�cent live in the North Island. *beep* all peo�ple actu�ally want to go to the South Island. Some have never been and the rest only want to go to Queen�stown once a year for a week for ski�ing. So sell it. The place sucks anyway.
If we sold it for $43,706,750,000,000 (around $44 Tril�lion, 44 x This pic�ture) and vested the amount in indi�vid�ual accounts for every man, woman and child, they would each receive $10,000,000.
Peo�ple who live in the South Island could con�tinue to live there, but under new rulers, or they could move, there is noth�ing stop�ping them, they have $10,000,000. The real�ity is that their new land�lords would be the Chi�nese and since most of them are pinkos any�way they would wel�come the Chi�nese with open hands.
In the North we already import power so noth�ing changes there. The ski-fields won�t go any�where. The coal that is dug up already goes to China so no change there and the best part of all is we get $10,000,000 in the pocket. A fam�ily of 5 would get $50,000,000. Basi�cally a pal�let of cash would be deliv�ered to every third house to divvy up with their neighbours.
Of course the ensu�ing may�hem as the fools and dolts were parted from their $10,000,000 is just a bonus as far as I am con�cerned. By and large the coun�try would be a whole heap better off.
Let�s face it, no one wants to live in the South Island, if they did the pop�u�la�tion stats would say different.

Even though I'm from the South, I would be all over this idea. |
