Side note; We urgently need a forensic audit of the so called NZTPU. This kind of imported disinformation & slander is what is ripping our democracy apart & propelling us toward far right extremism. #nzpol
Oh they don't even have to wait for the inquiry - they're going to milk this for months.

$?????? millions on a liquefied natural gas terminal that cuts against the actual economics of natural gas instead of just paying for everyone to switch to fucking electricity is probably peak Luxonism. Bad economics, bad infrastructure, bad decision.

This is so wrong, *Auckland* is sewage in the water, Wellington is sewage in the *streets*.
Sewerage on the beach, again.
How does it happen?
Years of underinvestment due to successive governments and councils using the promise of low rates for home owners to win votes.
It was always just kicking the can down the road and we’ve reached the end of the road.

Reports lay bare criticisms of Veolia’s management of Wellington’s wastewater plants, but it was retained because of the high costs and risks in terminating the $170m contract.

David Seymour says Kiwis are too squeamish about privatisation – history shows why they lost the appetite
The ACT Party leader believes government assets should provide a return or be sold. But a majority of New Zealanders are consistently opposed to more privatisation.
