• Caretaker Government responsibility

    From Crash@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 20 20:58:51 2023
    Well we are in the transition phase between governments. I believe
    that Hipkins in particular needs to take into consideration the best
    interests of the country and put taxpayer interests before party
    policy. Specifically, spending on areas where National and ACT have
    indicated a change in direction should be absolutely minimal.

    A case in point is the Water reforms. Given the policies of both
    National and ACT, there should be no further incursion of expense
    pending the repeal of the appropriate Acts. I cannot fathom why
    anyone would consider taking a job with the Water Entities but job
    offers need to be ceased immediately along with all other future
    commitments.

    The same applies to all other initiatives instigated by Labour but for
    which National (in particular) have committed to repeal.

    Until a new government is sworn in, the outgoing government acts in a
    caretaker role. As far as I am aware they are not allowed to do a
    number of the things you are suggesting - perhaps you could read the
    relevant legislation . . . It is only a short period, and we do need
    people to address many of the water issues that are beyond a lot of
    Councils - but perhaps the incoming government will be happy to see
    work progressing at fixing some of the problems of water pollution
    that the current system is leading to due to underinvestment by
    Councils . . .

    If it is specifically illegal for the caretaker government to cease
    all now-pointless extra expenditure I would be very surprised. Perhaps
    Rich you can cite the legislation involved.

    It is only a short period, and we do need
    people to address many of the water issues that are beyond a lot of
    Councils - but perhaps the incoming government will be happy to see
    work progressing at fixing some of the problems of water pollution

    That is quite clearly a responsibility of the incoming government and
    a total red herring in this thread.

    Does not National have some policy/propsals in the water reform area. Ones without co-governace. There is probably some new jobs in the National
    reforms. Maybe it is a case of being on the field gives one a better chance
    of a job in the National model.

    They certainly plan to keep ownership with local authorities, and to
    retain the water quality regulator. What do you mean by being on the
    field, Gordon - is that a rugby metaphor? Given significant problems throughout the country, arising from too little maintenance to keep
    rates low, and the effect of storms and flooding, some local
    authorities are not likely to be able to afford the necessary work
    without quite high increases in rates. Chris Finlayson believes that Co-governance arrangements that he put in place are still relevant ;
    but the next generation of National MPs appear not to agree with him.

    What nonsense.
    - Finlayson did not put any co-governance ins place
    - There are not "signifiant" problems "throughout" the country. Evidence of that does not exist.
    - You have shown no evidnece of what current National MPs believe - just guessing as usual.

    This will be addressed by National's well-publicised policy, as you
    have been told many times but never acknowledge.

    Chris Finlayson believes that
    Co-governance arrangements that he put in place are still relevant ;
    but the next generation of National MPs appear not to agree with him.

    This has been covered so many times and you can never refute the fact
    that Findlayson was a party to ToW Settlement negotiations on small
    regional assets that allowed co-management of specific resources
    between Iwi and regional local bodies. This has no connection to the
    Water reforms legislation that Labour enacted and National have
    promised to repeal.

    National have indicated that they will retain the water quality
    regulator - that will place pressure on Councils to fix problems
    urgently, or risk being fined - but for many of them, they do not have
    the capital to undertake major works - and National has indicated that
    they will not increase borrowing limits for Councils. Perhaps the need
    the fines for poor quality water to pay for tax cuts . . .

    Your word isn't believed by many in this ng Rich. It's up to YOU to backup your worthless opinion with a cite! You've tried this bullshit before and got hammered. So now is the time for you to provide some evidence rather than your usual empty words!

    He certainly did not put all co-governance arrangements in place, but
    the discussion was about what politicians and the National Party in
    particular believe - clearly Finlayson believes that co-governance is
    a good way to deal with many settlements.

    Now to move to your attempted diversion, prove that none of the
    settlements during Finalyson's term involved any element of
    co-governance - your assertion; up to you to prove it.

    All else youhave written is irrelevant. You lied, again.
    How easy you do find it to lie while accusing others of lying.
