Local councils/ govt have way to much control now, Three waters co-governance is not about taking ones rights away, its about regulating water use for everyone not just wealthy regions with wealthy councils.

Do you understand it? Really? What it means is council assets are essentially confiscated. That means while the assets are legally the property of the council, they can't legally borrow against them, or include them as assets worth. The three waters as it is set by Labour, takes that asset worth, and gifts it to central government, even though they remain legally council property. It means central government don't need to borrow or need to borrow less, while councils has less assets to borrow against. Because central government is bigger than local government, rates have to go up significantly, and there is no way around that. Central government have done good accounting, but the end user is the rate payer who pays far bigger rates as a result. If the central government assigned local government money to deal with the issue, there wouldn't be an issue. But the co-governance model is simple. It also gives Maori a cut on water. And that's why the model is the way it is.

Water Infrastructure needs funding, but by what twisted logic does this mean that the control of the infrastructure should be entrusted to Iwi who are not elected, and who cannot be voted out by the ratepayers

Parliament created local government. So assets owned by local government are possibly an extension of parliament. He said the costings are indoubt but surely people of knowledge made these calculations.

Parliament owns nothing and neither do the councils. They owned by the all New Zealanders who paid for them. The people fund everything and 3 waters is a sneaky attempt at privatising water. This Govenrnment and most politicians are quite frankly corrupt. Quite clearly the interviewer is a supporter of the current maxist Govenment.

Correct, Council are crown enteritis, ultimately owned by the crown. The rates used to fund councils are taxes authorised by parliament. Councils are in effect created and authorised by parliament. Reorganise council assets is no different to a govt reorganising assets owned by the ministries of health, education, transport, defence etc.

I agree with Campbell Barry comments. National's plan is about rate raises and expensive water bills which is at odd to National's reducing 'cost of living' for households.

Local government needs reform. Some councils are too small and uneconomic. Local governments spending also needs to regulated. They are monopoly providers with no price pressure. The powers of general competence needs to be removed and councils forced to focus on core business.

Invest in water infrastructure, but the governance of that infrastructure must be entrusted to elected officials, and not to a small group of Maori elites who are not elected and who cannot be dismissed by the people they have power over (like Russia)

costs and funding issues fall solely on the councils backs, they collect rates to upgrade and maintain the cities infustructure. they have obviously neglected this and have to shoulder the blame. and you cant simply blame the mayors. they have boards all on over 100k and make the major decisions. imagine if they were held financially responsible, for their mistakes .
