    Right this is a good start which should have happened months ago.

    Relaod, aim, and fire as the target is still standing all be it at a further distance.

    Kicking it down the road, to remove the distraction and level of oppostion until the Election.

    The battle is still very much on. The core still exists.

    I will wait to see the detail but there are still obvious questions. The most important one is whether the people who make the decisions will be elected by rate payers.

    No. The new reforms are Clayton efforts - the reform you have when
    you don't want a meaningful reform. The PM has indeed tried to put
    lipstick on a pig - but it is still a pig.

    One thing seemingly missed by every media outlet is the fact that
    Water Entity A is unchanged - 4 have not become 10, the other 3 have
    become 9. For Northlanders this means no change.

    Good to see Luxon immediately rejecting the PMs plans and again
    committing to repeal.

    Why do you want votes to be other than by residents (as for local authorities), or by those entitled to vote for MPs? A third voting
    systems seems unnecessarily complicated.
    What are you trying to say here Rich? Tony was perfectly clear about who should vote. Your usual tactic of muddying the waters (no pun intended) just highlights the fact that YOU make shit up whenever it becomes obvious your inglorious Labour party fucks
    up. Are you the lipstick covered pig by any chance?

    It was Tony that was suggesting that those that make decisions be
    elected only by ratepayers, the implication being that others would
    not get a vote. I agree with you that he was being anti-democratic; I
    don't believe he was trying to be raqcist as well, but it is true that
    pakeha own a disproportionate percentage of properties, so his
    proposal may have had the effect of being racist.

    You wanted "the people that make the decisions" to be elected by >>rate-payers - that was the silliness.
    They are now. Nothing silly about that you silly man.
    Now councils are elected by residents as well as ratepayers (and while
    they are often both resident and ratepayer, there are plenty who are
    only one of those - and the number of adult residents is growing as
    fewer are able to afford to purchase a home.

    Why do you want votes to be other than by residents (as for local
    authorities), or by those entitled to vote for MPs? A third voting
    systems seems unnecessarily complicated.
    Do explain that bit of silliness.

    You wanted "the people that make the decisions" to be elected by

    What's so silly about that?

    Bill.
    I asked why, if we are to elect for any purpose, we would not use
    either the system for electoin of regional and local councillors, or
    for electing MPs. A third electoral system is a stupid waste of money.

    Why do you keep repeating the same tired liess Rich. It's only in the diseased piece of meat you claim is a brain that created that bullshit! Just because democracy and free speech is abhorrent to nasty little feral Marxist like you doesn't mean
    democracy is bad!
    Are you suggesting pakeha should give their property to Maori just because there are more pakeha. A nasty little fact you, as usual, ignore doesn't mean anything. Hell how much has been given to Iwi as Treaty settlements? Why hasn't any of that been used
    to provide homes for Maori? But guess as usual Rich80105 will ignore these VERY pertinent questions because in his diseased brain they're of no consequence. Much like Rich80105's constant whining about thing that are in effect crap!

    Rich you have reached a new low. Tony did not suggest anything you
    accuse him of. I am Pakeha in that I have no Maori ancestry in my
    forbears and I insist that race-based preferential treatment never be introduced to NZ as Labour has proposed.

    It is becoming not just desirable but essential that Labour not be
    re-elected in the upcoming election, if nothing else because
    National's water reform policy is implemented after Labours Water
    reform Acts have been repealed.

    They are now. Nothing silly about that you silly man.
    Now councils are elected by residents as well as ratepayers (and while
    they are often both resident and ratepayer, there are plenty who are
    only one of those - and the number of adult residents is growing as
    fewer are able to afford to purchase a home.
    So what? What tiny minded imagined retort did you intend?
    Pathetic trivia from you is your second method of attack quickly following sarcasm.

    You still got it wrong, and your arrogance prevents you admitting it.
    I got nothing wrong, I expressed an opinion.
    And your opinion was that the votres should be restricted to the
    privileged group of property owners who pay rates - you were wrong.
    No that is not my opinion. You are a childish racist.
