We’ve now seen the Governments plan albeit with not a lot of detail, and the determination to introduce their reforms with absolute haste. Minister Nanaia Mahuta announced in the house yesterday that the Government intended to introduce Legislation to push ahead with Three Waters. This is despite overwhelming rejection of the current concept by 63 of the 67 Councils.

Yesterday Rex Simpson spoke with National’s spokesperson on Local Government, Christopher Luxon. Previously CEO of Air New Zealand and a person many are tipping as a future leader of the National Party.

He asked what National would do to solve the water issue in this extended interview.
