Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: The extensive modelling and research which we published yesterday shows that Aucklanders will be better off under the reforms, even after joining up with Northland communities. I've heard calls from Mayor Goff, and it's surprising to hear them, given the number of times the Government and the rest of New Zealand has stepped in to support Auckland's shortfalls on infrastructure investment in the past. The real issue for Auckland is their constrained balance sheets and operational inefficiencies when compared to water entities of the same scale. As a Government, we simply want Aucklanders to save money, have access to safe water, and be able to go to their beaches and swim safely. Aucklanders want all of this. I would have thought that Mayor Goff would have wanted it too.
