Clive Bibby: CO-GOVERNANCE AND THE THREE WATERS LEGISLATION
I find it hard to understand why the current government spin doctors have not resigned on mass in protest at the seemingly intransigent stance of their employers in relation to the recently passed legislation committing the “Three Waters” legislation to law, including the “devil in the detail” which is the Co-governance aspect.
While there have been minor adjustments to the legislation - presumably as a result of the submissions to select committee that include such things as pushing the “start up” date out to 2026 (two years later than the original) - the main section that is likely to (more than any other) result in a heavy defeat at the polls is still there unaltered.
That is the few lines that have been referred to as “the apartheid clause” which gives 16% of the voting population equal oversight rights as those allocated to the remaining 84%.
To use a famous John McEnroe line uttered in similar amazement - “You can’t be serious!”.....
