Canceling #3Waters is yet another example of the economic sabotage this #NZPol Coalition of Incompetence is responsible for.

Gore -- don't drink the water due to elevated nitrate levels.
The story doesn't dare hint at what may have caused those elevated nitrate levels. Maybe it's farming runoff, or maybe we'll never know.

@ClareBear They should write to their MPs. Let me check:
Napier - Katie Nimon, National Party
Tukituki - Catherine Wedd, National Party
Perhaps they'll know who cancelled 3 Waters
Look at what we've done. We disagree with the #Māori health authority, it wasn't working. It didn't deliver outcomes, it was massive bureaucracy. We didn't agree with co-governance of #3Waters. We've disbanded that. We didn't agree with actually Wellington mandated local Māori wards we opposed in opposition and we've actually pushed that back to local communities. That's how you deal with the issues. Case by case.

The Tories who are responsible for privatising England's #3waters have also been advising our #National #Act #NZFirst govt on NZ's 3 waters reform. The one legal collective defense Aotearoa still has against privatising or foreign ownership and control of NZ water is te Tiriti o Waitangi principles. 🤔
Hey #NZTwits Chris Bishop has just recently been in the UK meeting with the Tories that privatised England’s #3Waters
#NZPol #TiritiOWatangi
In all the discussion about centralisation, such as the furore over 3 Waters, one question never seems to get asked. Why are small organisations struggling to get credit, even for essential public interest work, such that amalgamation into mega-entities is seen as the only financially viable solution?
Btw, the last Labour Govt did pass #3Waters legislation and had already invested $ including compensating many local bodies for these assets.
NACTNZF simply repealed that legislation wasting all the work and $ invested in addressing NZ's 3 Water infrastructure crisis to please their dark money #AtlasNetwork funders.
@pezmico
Was talking to an elderly Nact voter at a recent event. He was trying to argue NZ is too small to afford luxuries.
Luxuries? Do you seriously believe clean drinking water is a luxury? I asked.
He spluttered something about it being Grant Robertson's fault yet couldn't accept #3Waters was a smart and far more affordable solution than Nact using racism to divide NZ for electoral gain and destroy te tiriti's protection of NZ's water and privatise NZ's water assets.

How's that 3W repeal going for Greater Wellington Regional Council, and councils in Dunedin, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Upper Hutt, Tasman and Nelson?
The[ir] credit ratings [...] are under threat of a downgrade because of deteriorating finances, rising debt, and policy uncertainty.
S&P Global Ratings has revised the[ir] outlook from "stable" to "negative" and said the overall financial trend is weakening.
38% rates rise in akl, too...?
Queenstown is warning of water restrictions. There's plenty of water but demand is exceeding their ability to treat it without expensive upgrades.

Oh, look, good public health and well informed infrastructure investment advocacy from *checks notes* iwi, a core part of our tasman community. Maybe they should have a more direct voice in water investments.
@essjax @CarolynStirling
Auckland Council: We can’t afford to properly address the sewerage, storm and drinking water infrastructure issues we’re facing.
Labour government: Central Government has a plan to tackle the #3Waters crisis for all of #NewZealand…
Auckland Council: Yeah nah, not like that.
