Dear Friend,

On Friday, submissions close on Nanaia Mahuta’s expensive and undemocratic “Three Waters” bill.

I’m emailing to ask you to please take two minutes now to use the Taxpayers' Union submission tool here.

Our team has drafted a brief submission for you – you can spend as much or as little time as you like personalising it. The key thing is that you submit before 5pm Friday.

Labour are getting desperate

There is no doubt Labour took notice of our “Stop Three Waters Roadshow” and the huge support this campaign is generating.

First, the Government tried to buy the councils off. It didn’t work.

Then, they ran a misleading propaganda campaign across TV, radio and print to try and claim Three Waters is the necessary ‘fix’ to brown water coming out of taps. It didn’t work.

They even took the step to rejig Parliamentary rules to make it harder for members to submit against the Bill. They are now blocking emailed submissions on Nanaia Mahuta’s bill to the Select Committee, despite that being the usual practice for decades. So much for making it easier to participate in democracy! It appears that only applies to democracy the Government agrees with!

Use our tool, and we will print and personally deliver your submission to Parliament before submissions close on Friday.

Friend, Labour are emailing their supporters to harvest supportive submissions – we can’t allow them to manufacture ‘support’ for their undemocratic measures

Click here to make your own submission against Three Waters’ higher water costs, more bureaucracy, no local control, and loss of democratic accountability of water assets.

Mahuta has a big budget, but we’ve got people power

If you’ve already submitted on Three Waters, thank you. If you’re able, please chip in to the fighting fund so that we can do one more online advertising blitz to match Labour’s efforts. We need to move quickly if we are to demonstrate to Labour’s provincial MPs that unless they join us to Stop Three Waters, they won’t be MPs for too much longer. You can make a confidential donation using our secure website here.

Thank you for your support.

PS. We have another 200 banners arriving this Friday. If you’ve already ordered one, the team will be getting it on to the courier this weekend. If you’d like one, head along to our store to spread the message.
