Labour says it's nonsense to suggest the private sector does things better - after National has said it will campaign on asset sales next election.

ACT has proposed health and education as starting points. 

But Labour leader Chris Hipkins says we only need to look at electricity companies gouging New Zealand consumers for profit. 

He says the companies stopped investing in new generation since becoming private. 

"Every New Zealand household's paying higher power prices - when the National Party said that if we privatise them, power prices will come down."
