Fresh water matters
The arrogance of the current government was highlighted by Local Government Minister Mahuta's message to the president of Local Government New Zealand, Stuart Crosby, on funding $1 million for engaging Maori on freshwater matters.
'This is now your core business'; this is now your core business, whether you like it or not”.
Just a further demonstration of a political party having the majority in Parliament, demanding local and regional bodies implement changes that were never contained in their election manifesto. Unbridled power that has not been part of New Zealand's electoral system since Muldoon's time. No carrot, just a big stick approach!

Why would you want to own New Zealanders water? It's a naturally occurring product of mother nature falling from the sky or bubbling from the ground, why would those that relate to being Maori' want to " own" water?
