Andrea, this is all I could find. Jim Anderton on Radiolive – http://www.radiolive.co.nz/KiwiBank-needs-capital-to-compete—Anderton/tabid/506/articleID/117977/Default.aspx

The comment was made on 6 April – the same day as the announcement. Anderton has some of his facts wrong – none of the sale proceeds will go to Kiwibank as capitalisation.

The government will take the purchase price and pocket most of it then pass on a small amount to NZ Post which, in effect, is simply located in the same building. The nominal “ownership” of Kiwibank by New Zealand Post is just a convenient fiction. but what is sure is that none of the money will be used to rehydrate Kiwibank.

The hope on the Left that Kiwibank might one day grow to the point of competing fairly with the corporate Aussie trading banks consequentially recedes even further. One more victory for the Neos.
