Schedule 35: Public purpose Crown-controlled companies
or “Government-owned companies working for New Zealand's benefit”

You could also call this:

“List of government-owned and partially-owned companies in New Zealand”

This schedule lists government enterprises in New Zealand. It’s split into two parts: State enterprises and Mixed-ownership enterprises.

State enterprises are companies fully owned by the government. The list includes organisations like Airways Corporation of New Zealand Limited, KiwiRail Holdings Limited, and New Zealand Post Limited. These companies operate in various sectors such as transportation, housing, and communications.

Mixed-ownership enterprises are companies where the government owns some, but not all, of the shares. This part includes Air New Zealand Limited and energy companies like Genesis Energy Limited, Meridian Energy Limited, and Mighty River Power Limited. These companies allow for both government and public ownership.
