THE THREE WATERS LIE – DEMOCRACY THE LOSER ~ Frank Newman.
The Three Waters debacle exemplifies what’s so bad about the 2020 Labour government. It also explains why there is such derision and hostility towards Jacinda Ardern and Nanaia Mahuta in particular.
Three Waters is an appalling work of political manipulation and misinformation. Mike Hosking summed it up pretty well, when he said (Newstalk ZB, 24/22/22) Three Waters was a…
“… treaty deal not an infrastructure project. It’s about Maori and not the quality of our water and never has been. The idea that water is more important to Maori than it is to anyone else is not only wrong, it’s an insult. The whole thing from day one is a rort, based on a lie. We must not forget that most of the water in this country is absolutely fine, there isn’t an issue, there never has been.
It is a classic example of a con that’s got too complex and they have failed to keep up with the web of dishonesty and all of a sudden it’s been exposed so Ardern claims it’s all confusing. The only confusion is the unravelling of the BS. We aren’t confused, never have been. Councils don’t want it. Rates are for locals. Most of our water is fine. Maori are no more less important than anyone else. Maybe if they had been honest and campaigned on this in the election, they wouldn’t be hoisted by all this now.”
He’s right, Three Waters has been a lie from the beginning. It was never about safer water, saving money, or achieving operational efficiencies. It’s always been about Maori privilege. That’s why all of the common-sense solutions that did not involve Maori at the governance table were never considered......
