Three Waters reset: Ten new entities in policy purge, co-governance remains
Quote:
Goodbye Three Waters - hello, “Affordable Water Reforms”.
The Government has scrapped a major part of its unpopular Three Waters reforms, ditching the four mega entities that would have delivered Three Waters (freshwater, wastewater, and stormwater) services to households.
10 Lazy Water Empires instead of Three now all requiring Chairman, Staff and a truck load of
associated dictated red tape and bureaucratic bullsh*t around them now ?
Who's paying for this large chapter of Labour's WATER Screw Ups ?
And not one watermain, leaking pipe repair or improvement has occurred in meantime
at the hands of this Bureaucratic Bulls Up for how many millions thrown at it ?
At least Wellington Council got the Street Lamps up and actually working, even if
all were later found stuffed & a safety hazzard due to prevailing winds everyone forgot about ;)
With Labour's 3 or 10 Idiot's on Water it appears quite obvious that there are still no Lights on
and no sign of that happening anytime .. total disconnect and there was no wind to blame it on :)
50 may have represented no change though ;)
Local Government Minister Kieran McAnulty said his model would deliver savings to households of between $2,770-$5,400 per year by 2054.
Most will believe the totally Nutty BS Plan if & when it delivers any savings rather than an expected expensive blackhole devised by a bunch of clueless blundering twits who have clearly demonstrated their deficient fiscal abilities and non delivery on most things very well during most recent terms ;)

“Let’s be clear about co-governance - co-governance as it’s traditionally understood, was taken off the table in Three Waters reform process some time ago. There was an early discussion around whether a full co-governance model should be adopted here and ultimately, the government decided not to do that,” Hipkins said.
While co-governance on the entity boards was ultimately ditched, the last time the Government reviewed the Three Waters Reforms, it deliberately kept the elements of co-governance that appear in today’s policy: 50-50 representative groups.
No co-governance on Entity Boards now ?
That might hurt a few feelings in places or was the pool of suitable talent from the 16% of eligibles running mysteriously dry .. or perhaps none wanted to know ? ;)
Perhaps they have seen the writing on the wall already and the pay deal for likely just 7 or 8 months
then down the road didn't excite them :)
Let's see just how far these slight sidesteps get Hipkins among the 80% plus who didn't like the previous Artform's managing only to produce no less than an unpopular litany of incompetent screw ups every way she turned ;)
Larger shovel needed - Hipkins to dig your way into a cave under the shambles to hide in :)
Mahuta orchestrated the mess and the best option now appears to be to not try excavating on top
but digging underneath for a safe hiding spot :)
