Three Waters: Whangarei District Council counter with recommendations for Govt

The Whangarei District Council is asking the government to ‘take time’ and go through the council’s recommendations in response to the proposed Three Waters reform. Earlier this month the council commissioned their own analysis of the reforms which found them to be ‘flawed’. Te Okiwa McLean has more.

When the english wanted to aquire Aotearoa... They had to legally establish ownership of the land, hence the surveyors... Three waters is a legal manuvour, to establish ownership, for the new English to grab water rights. The end game is to bring fonterra to its forced sale.. No water, no milk? Time to stand up, and smell the puha 😊

This country wants European people to move out so we are Medical professionals and will move back to Britain. Goodbye angry Maori. NZ needs to be more honest about its apartheid policy before getting us immigrants to move here.

I don't understand the Maori people in New Zealand. They feel bullied by the people around them, including Europeans, Chinese, Tongans, Indians... When it comes to the issue of 3waters, my Maori colleagues even Shout out to me, give the water back to Maori. I never care about these motions, I suddenly feel like I'm being shocked. The water in New Zealand belongs to the Maori! I can't agree with this at all. Originally, the 3waters proposal was to improve the quality of water, but the potential is to distribute the benefits of water to the Maori. If this motion is passed, will the next motion be air and whether we will have to pay taxes for breathing in the future. . . .
