Hon KIERAN McANULTY: On behalf of the Minister, the only way to have absolute faith that they will stay in public ownership is to entrench that provision in law, which the National Party refused to do. It is harder now to privatise water assets as a result of these proposals that what it was at the start. What I would say to any councillor who has expressed concerns about the structure is to participate in the select committee process or to turn up to the meetings that the Associate Minister is having with each and every rural provincial council to take feedback direct back to the Minister—feedback which has already resulted in constructive and productive adjustments to the proposal.
