As one coalition partner speaks against asset sales, another is keen to welcome them with open arms.

The Prime Minister reiterates he's ruled them out this term, but is keen to reconsider them in future, saying legitimate conversations should be held.

New Zealand First's Winston Peters says he's going to stop the country's assets from being sold.

"The reality is, the name of this game is getting an asset and extracting the maximum amount of value out of it for your your workforce, for your wealth, for your economy. Other countries do that, why don't we?"
