“It is particularly important that businesses which use larger quantities of water face cost-based pricing, to incentivise businesses to use water efficiently. The way the right have framed 3 Waters as an attack on democracy is a masterclass of propaganda that would make your average Qanon Fear grifter blush. 3 Waters isn’t about Māori taking over the fucking water, it’s about Local and Central Government refusing to pay for the mass immigration policies that are enriching the property speculating middle classes. B-U-T these are secondary issues, the main issue has been about corporate users of water avoiding that cost. If it’s not 3 Waters today, it will be All Waters tomorrow.
