Democracy is a legal right in New Zealand. How can you trust Commissioners who have been put in place by Nanaia Mahuta?

The Minister wants Three Waters passed and she will stop at nothing to get her way.

That is not democracy. It is theft of our natural resources.

We need a democratically-elected council, not Commissioners who will do what the Minister wants and not listening to what rate-paying Tauranga citizens would like.
