The government shouldn't be bailing out any company or own any shares in any private company as they then have too much control over them
@9G5KLJT2yrs2Y
No - but the company should be required to return a portion of the financial aid they received based on future profits
@9D948LQ2yrs2Y
They should be loans above market rates
@9D8FVKF2yrs2Y
I don't have enough knowledge to make this decision
@9F9D4PB2yrs2Y
Depends on type of business and dollar amount
@9DQSVGR2yrs2Y
Governments should not be able to bail out companies. We cannot privatize gains and socialize losses.
No, the government should loan money to companies. There would be too much bias attached to organisations that were owned by government.
@9FMBMP62yrs2Y
Yes, Absolutely! Government 'money' is public money and if we bail out a company, then we own equity in it.
@9FDYBR72yrs2Y
Yes until capital investment repaid.
It shouldn't bail out private companies
@9DMG5ML2yrs2Y
Government should take full control, Nationalise the company
@93HVQQT3yrs3Y
The government shouldn't bail anyone out anyway
@8J2CY2C4yrs4Y
No, let the free market take care of companies during a recession
@8HZNJFY4yrs4Y
The government should only get the money back they invested. Not shares.
@8H78RLK5yrs5Y
they should reimburse the taxpayer of the total bailout over a fixed term
@8GX5YBQ5yrs5Y
Yea they should until they make back the same worth they put into the firm. If the company provides it's value of bail back to NZ via jobs, technology and profit then it shall receive it's stakes back.
@8G8DVVS5yrs5Y
No but they should pay the money back
@97Z3LZY2yrs2Y
Yes for a period of time
@8GCF4G35yrs5Y
Acquire equity if the company cannot/will not pay it back over an agreed time.
@9D36RTG2yrs2Y
Yes, provided bail outs are paid back and government shareholding ceases
Only if it is as a silent shareholder less than 15%
The government should not bail out failed companies.
@9BHZ45M2yrs2Y
Don't bail out failing companies
@8G8B5KR5yrs5Y
no but treat as a low tax loan
@8G3VSM65yrs5Y
No, but doing so needs to send a message to the companies that the government bails out (with the exception of small businesses)
@8DWW88L5yrs5Y
The government should not bail out any companies in the first place.
@8DRQBT95yrs5Y
Yes but only to a maximum of 5%
@8DHBFW95yrs5Y
No, and the government shouldn’t be bailing out private businesses anyway
@8DH8H9R5yrs5Y
It depends on the company, size, profile and value to the economy/society
@8D5NMLX5yrs5Y
Possibly but a very low amount
@8CT673B5yrs5Y
Yes, but only in the biggest companies and those who have a bad history in any direction. Work out 'biggest' using stats like profits & revenues.
@8C545785yrs5Y
Shouldnt be bailing private companies
@9B6RN7K2yrs2Y
Yes but only short term. Should be sold off once issues fixed.
@8C7XT4V5yrs5Y
Yes, but give back once they receive the earnings equivalent to the loan amount
@TravellingFOOT5yrs5Y
Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies but, not as an investment and also have no say in how the companies operate.
