This bill says nothing about who will pay for the infrastructure and how it will be funded. Now, the role of a Minister, bringing a bill to the House, is to explain how this legislation will actually solve a problem. The Minister has failed on all accounts. The Minister claims all communities in New Zealand will benefit by receiving better water-quality services while paying less than they would without reform. That is farcical; the evidence put up by the Minister is not credible. How can a system with four new corporate headquarters, hundreds of iwi Māori and council representatives, multiple representative groups—it's going to be like a Parliament of three waters. There's going to be multiple councils all across the country, representative organisations—how could that possibly be cheaper than if local councils simply delivered the work and fixed the pipes? The Minister's claims about cost savings are nonsense; the Minister does herself and the water industry no favours by continuing to peddle this nonsense.
