How sad it is that we feel the need to give our water rights away to overseas interests.
Water in our country is an asset that we have gradually polluted and filled with unsavoury matter. What sort of future are we creating for our great grand-children in New Zealand?
Are we seeking to create a future in which the only pure water they can drink is water that we have given away for free and they have to purchase from overseas interests?
Unfortunately short term profit over long term sense seems to be dictating the decisions made by our leaders, in my view.
One of the excuses given by our leaders is that we waste millions of litres of water in farming and industry anyway so why not lose more water by giving it away for some overseas company to make a profit on?
