Labour Government's ideological nonsense is expanding rapidly with the sneaky way that they announced that they have added another category 'Hydro” plus a further one 'Coastal”, plus what I call a half proposal to take over any reserves and parks which have a link to water, pipes, pumping stations, etc.

This sort of behaviour goes way beyond simple socialist policies and are more akin to the communist policies of China and Russia.

Ardern and Mahuta are riding roughshod over some 88,000 submissions most of which were against this policy of 3 waters centralisation.

This is similar to what we have seen with health and education. Those in Wellington who think they know best are in dreamland, unfortunately at massive cost to we taxpayers.

To use a water expression, NZ is rapidly going down the gurgler!
