Folks, I have to admit I fucking love it.
After the Right spooked the easily led sleepy Hobbits into believing 3 Waters was all about ‘da Maaaaaoris stealing da water’, the new hard right racist Government scrapped 3 Waters and of course now have no fucking plan whatsoever to fix our underfunded fucked up water infrastructure…
The Local Government Minister says he is disappointed in Wellington and Upper Hutt councils for failing to provide information on how they were dealing with water leakage and shortage issues in the capital.
Simeon Brown wrote to Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau and Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy, after requesting information from the chair of the Wellington Water Committee on what actions shareholder councils were taking to reduce the possible water shortage.
Much of the Wellington region moved to level 2 water restrictions on Wednesday.
…Simeon Brown seems to think all he has to do is send a passive aggressive email and the problem will be fixed!
Watching all you rednecks scream ‘da Maaaoris is stealing da water’ and then having NO PLAN to actually fix the infrastructure is fucking hilarious.
How’s that thirst feeling rednecks?
Thirsty yet?
Burn rednecks. Burn.

Pretty much no one feels sorry for Wellington council, the preachy capital that underfunded its water
infrastructure for years but imported a beach from the South Island and built cycle lanes and rainbow crossings.
Vanity projects.
Constantly losing nearly 50% of water through leaky pipes and no action taken should see charges laid.
what charge every councilor from the last 50 years ?good luck with that .It is not the fault of the fault of the current council is it /THEY ARE JUST LUMBERED WITH FINDING THE CASH TO FIX IT .
Well it’s probably not about feeling sorry for the council is it. It was the Act mayor that wanted change but didn’t like 3 waters because it lost “local voices”. Well the local voices seem to be the problem.
Shouldn’t slimy brown have filed an official information request like we peasantry have to do and wait 20 plus days
Water infrastructure obviously still needs major upgrades and repairs across the country which the rating base in most Councils cannot fund. Pretty obvious what needs to happen…and Labour was doing it–but the Natzos won the narrative with their nasty little campaigns like Groundswell and signage in sheep shaggers roadside properties.
Rain water collection is a good idea, even small tanks for gardens or whatever, but is a no no for private capital involved in water companies. Do it anyway people, you cannot rely on those failing pipes and dodgy treatment regimes, a lot of people are likely to get very sick in the near future from profit based water supply.
In the Far North a lot of us have tank water and it works just fine. Visitors freak out and bring large packs of bottled water with them, but nowadays many of us have sophisticated filter systems adjacent to our tank pumps etc. Safer than Havelock North in 2016…
Brown is a bully till some one scares the fuck out of him .Remember when he was attacking the gangs hard out ? TILL ONE OF THEM WALKED PAST AND SAID BOO and he shit himself and shut the fuck up .The welly council should sue him for 20 billion to fix the problem .He is a fucked up twerp and needs to grow the fuck up
Thanks, you get the best laughs from the brutality of truth.
And tears .
Wellington didn’t spend any money on water for the last 3 years because 3 waters was going to bail them out
Now it’s gone.
Time for competent councillors and mayor’s that will fund infrastructure.
Rules the Greens and Labour out
Corrupt and incompetent, National, ACT and NZ First
