The three waters rort and the plans behind it come clearer every day.
The excerpt below gives some indication of what Maori think about it.
"He says around the country mana whenua are seeking co-governance and even co-ownership of infrastructure."
Ms Manuta tells us otherwise.
I have read similar comments by Maori, one such declared openly that Maori must own water infrastructure. By inference, this includes water.
Probably only potable water, not used water.
Maori are NOT indigenous to New Zealand!!!! They are boat people just like the other groups of people who sailed here, albeit a few hundred years earlier. Australian aborigines have lived there 30,000 plus years, true indigenous tribes. This Maori indigenous bullshit and the treaty partnership lies have swamped real history and facts, when are the people of NZ going to wake up to the crap being dished up by the mainstream media? Kiwialan.
