After BNZ, What Else Should NZ Nationalise?
If New Zealand is serious about economic sovereignty and ready to nationalise BNZ, why stop at banking? The same monopolies and duopolies strangling competition are embedded across power, transport, supermarkets and childcare.
If we are all in on nationalising BNZ to merge with Kiwibank and become the Bank for the Government for economic sovereignty, then let’s go all in on other things we should nationalise.
What else should New Zealand nationalise?
- Air NZ – take back the airline and use it as a strategic national asset.
- Renationalisation of electricity generators – push for 100% renewable, cheap and sustainable electricity grid.
- Nationalise a 3rd supermarket competitor out of the existing duopoly.
- Nationalise all ECE providers and provide free child care for young kids of working mums and dads.
- Auckland Transport
This isn’t socialism — it’s survival capitalism
I’m not looking for socialism here, I’m just wanting basic regulated capitalism. New Zealand has been captured by monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies for a plutocracy class.
If nationalising BNZ and merging it with Kiwibank is a smart idea, it is a smart idea in many places.
One of the main roadblocks I referred to in my previous post.
“NEW ZEALAND is heading toward yet another grim general election, and the mood of the country reflects it. After years of economic stagnation, rising hardship, and a political class that seems incapable of imagining anything beyond the narrow confines of the market, voters are once again being told that their only choice is between two parties who differ more in tone than in substance. The economic status quo has failed working people, yet Labour’s pitch is not to overturn it, challenge it, or even question it. Instead, Labour is offering to ‘manage’ the same failing system slightly better than National. That is the full extent of its ambition.

Definitely on point with that statement.
If only we had a political leadership that can articulate that to the wider electorate with a set of policies to counter it.
I would rule out all of the current political pro free market participants in the current parliament.
They are the first road block.
If the dirty, nasty, filthy, morally repugnant bnz comes anywhere near Kiwi Bank then Kiwi Bank will lose at least one customer.
We, et al, urgently need a public, royal commission of inquiry up winston peters and his mates including don brash and the bnz and by extension every Kiwi but now Australian owned banksters i.e. anz, asb and westpac.
It might not look like it to dumbasses but we’re at war with those who will come here and take our AO/NZ off us. The enemy will come via Australia and its banks, the ones that were ours and now theirs.
