This is a wider problem in New Zealand. And I quote, as I have a few times before, Emeritus Professor Tim Hazledine from my alma mater at the University of Auckland. Professor Hazledine is an economist and he says one of the challenges with productivity in New Zealand is we spend less and less time on transformational activity: actually building dams and building tanks and drilling bores and processing and cleaning water. We're not spending time doing practical things. We spend far too much time doing transactional activity: getting permission, being inspected, filling out forms for people from Wellington. This is another example of that. We have a perfectly good system for people up and down rural New Zealand who are able to make their water work for themselves, thank you very much. They don't need the incursion of a Wellington water regulator telling them what's good for them. That's why the ACT Party, while we believe in a national water regulator for cities, cannot support this legislation.
