Friend,
We are running out of time! This is your last chance to have your say on Nanaia Mahuta’s undemocratic Three Waters Bill before MPs consider it at Select Committee.
I'm just out of a Board meeting where I found out that we are just short of our target of 50,000 submissions. We have only a few hours left to get there!
We must get to 50,000 if we are to show the media and the Wellington-elite that New Zealanders will have none of Nanaia Mahuta’s Three Waters co-governence and expensive bureaucracy. If you agree that those in control of local water assets should be democratically accountable to you, now is the time to say so.
Jordan’s done a great job this week holding LGNZ to account for their outrageous arrogance to ban dissenting voices like you and me. Apparently their ‘future of local democracy’ doesn't have room for us! What better example of how much these so-called ‘leaders’ think about us ratepayers who pay their bills?
But we are relying on you to do your bit. Please click here to make a submission.
Thank you for your support.
Peter Williams @ Taxpayers' Union
ps. The Government tried to “screw the scrum” by taking the extraordinary step of blocking emailed submissions. That’s why we are printing every submission made using our submission tool and delivering them to Parliament later today.

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. >> Click here to make your voice heard << 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 desperateThere 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! Friend, Labour are emailing their supporters to harvest supportive submissions – we can’t allow them to manufacture ‘support’ for their undemocratic measures
Mahuta has a big budget, but we’ve got people powerIf 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.
