Christchurch's mayor Phil Mauger swore he'd never sell the city's council-owned assets, but a new report suggests it might be needed.

When asked about the port, the airport, the broadband company, the electricity lines company, Mr Mauger promised none would be sold under his watch.

That was pre-election - when asked more recently, he could not rule it out. The public would have a say before anything is sold.
