Gary, whilst I am also of a mind that the port ought not to be sold, I am also a realist.
DHB have commenced discussions with the Department of Transport over selling the port; as a trust port the decision resides with the Minister for Transport; what you, I or any other ordinary member of the public thinks or wants counts for naught. Hence the need for our MP, who hopefully as he is in the same party, has the ear of the Minister and can make a representation of an alternative to the DHB sale proposal.
But let's not fool ourselves, the government is looking to make a significant dent in the national deficit and the prospect of somewhere close to £0.5bn as the proceeds of a sale of the port all helps towards that goal
