Dear John --
As we suspected, Labour announced
yesterday that they are forcing their Three Waters reforms on local
councils by legislation.
Let me make our position very
clear: National will repeal the Three Waters reforms and
return all seized assets back to your local councils as soon as we
return to Government.
Labour will try to ram their
bill through Parliament at any cost, but National will fight them
every step of the way. We can’t afford to lose the ‘local’ from local
government.
Labour have failed to deliver on just about everything
they’ve promised, and we need your help to tell as many Kiwis as
possible. Can we count on your support?
Nanaia
Mahuta has foreshadowed this path for months, continually refusing to
rule out mandating the reforms:
- First, the Government tried a $4 million scare campaign of
misleading cartoon ads, showing sludge pouring from people’s
taps.
- Then they announced a $2.5 billion slush fund to buy council
support, which most councils saw for what it was.
- Finally, and most despicably, Nanaia Mahuta and Jacinda Ardern
were willing to put councils though a sham consultation process, when
they always intended to make it mandatory.
It is plain for anyone to see that the Three Waters reforms
are an asset and power grab by a Government that never met a public
service it didn’t want to centralise and control.
We
need every fed-up New Zealander despairing about this Government to
know that National has your back and we’re focused on making sure
Labour has no chance at the next election.
National has been
vocally and relentlessly opposing the Three Waters asset grab in the
news, in parliament, and on social media. Our job on Three Waters has
only just begun as we prepare to throw everything at Labour to oppose
the legislation.
Tell your family and friends that
National opposes Labour’s Three Waters reforms. We will repeal and
reverse it.
Until next time, thank you again for your
support. Any contribution you can make to our efforts to
return National to Government is greatly
appreciated.
Kind
regards,
Judith
Hon Judith Collins
National Party Leader
P.S. I hope you’ll support us. It’s only with the
support of Kiwis who care about the future of New Zealand that we will
be able to make this happen. Back our President’s Appeal and give us the tools
to help put Labour down.
