The National Party is calling for some key state assets to be partly privatised.
 
Deputy leader Bill English told TV One's AGENDA programme that Air New Zealand is a good example of a successful partial float.
 
He says National will also look at other assets, including electricity companies.

The party has done a U-turn on complete privatisation saying feedback shows the public wants assets kept in state control.

Labour has reacted by accusing National of using sell-off plans to finance tax cuts and says National will be unable to stop at part-privatisation.
