This Government has spent millions of dollars on marketing consultants, showing TV ads of sludge running out of taps, and laying the blame squarely with local government. Even the Minister now admits that this was a mistake. To the surprise of precisely nobody, that didn't work, and every poll shows that Kiwis utterly reject this Government's reforms. In the One News Kantar poll, only one in four Kiwis support these reforms. In the Curia poll, it was only one in five. Last week, a poll showed 76 percent of New Zealanders think water services should be directly accountable to voters, including 74 percent of Labour voters. New Zealanders reject these reforms.
