DAVID UNWIN/STUFF The Opportunities Party candidate Jenny Condie has her turn at the mike. "What this Government won't be doing is bringing in a water tax that directly impacts the price of vegetables here in Horowhenua." McCann also used his speech to discuss housing issues, saying Labour would bring in a minimum standard for rental properties. While the party wanted a tax on exported, bottled water, there would be discussions afterwards about taxing other water users, he said.
