Grey Power and Asset Sales

Grey Power and Asset Sales

The editorial in today’s Taranaki Daily News contains misconceptions regarding Grey Power’s relationship to political parties as it pertains to the asset sale petition.

Grey Power’s Non-political Stance:
The Grey Power constitution unequivocally states that the Federation shall be non-sectarian and non-party political (clause 2.2.D (xv)).

Grey Power is not, therefore, allied with any political party. It lobbies all political parties and meets regularly with both government ministers and members of various opposition parties.

Grey Power’s Position Regarding the Citizen’s-Initiated Referendum on the Sale of State Assets.
The concept of a petition calling for a national referendum was first promoted by Grey Power in association with the NZ University Students’ Association (NZUSA) and will be presented jointly by Grey Power and the NZUSA to the Clerk of the House of Parliament.
