What part of Tauranga citizens' objections to Three waters does Commissioner Tolley not understand?

Some 95 per cent of submissions opposed, mostly entirely … of which about a third raised ‘concerns'. Only five per cent supported.

Commissioner Tolley then says: 'There is simply not enough factual information available.”

She is wrong. We have more than enough to know it is a central government takeover of a key local asset presented as being beneficial, which any thinking person can see through.

Tolley and the other three commissioners should stand aside from the issue because they were appointed by Minister Mahuta - the same Minister who has spent several years working on Three Waters, yet Labour said nothing prior to last year's parliamentary elections.

Bill Capamagian, Tauranga.
