United Future backs Debate Air New Zealand
United Future leader Peter Dunne has swung his support behind the pressure group, Debate Air New Zealand, which is
calling on the Government to delay taking a position on the proposed Air New Zealand-Qantas takeover until after the
Commerce Commission has examined the deal.
“This proposal is too important to the New Zealand economy to be subjected to over-hasty decision-making,” said Mr
Dunne.
“Debate Air New Zealand is quite right in saying that there is a need for the public to be fully involved in deciding
this issue, not just a few officials, government Ministers and chief executives.
“This is the New Zealand taxpayer’s airline, after all,” he said.
