This bill is a major step forward, because there has never been a national regulator with such significant powers, particularly in the compliance monitoring and enforcement area before. The Ministry of Health has had some powers, but not these really strong compliance, monitoring, and enforcement powers. And I think one thing is that the three waters changes that the Government is proposing—some have suggested, particularly Canterbury mayors, that we hit the pause button on those. I can see some merit in that and letting Taumata Arowai get established, particularly with its expanded oversight now of waste water and stormwater, and seeing how the system improves and have a substantial conversation about funding, because the billions of dollars of investment that is needed in three waters requires Government to ensure that there is more funding made available to councils.
