Kiwis want water to cost
NO SURPRISES HERE;THE COUNTRY WANTS IT
The majority of New Zealanders want farmers to be taxed for taking water from the environment, a new survey shows.
Who should pay for water has been a flash point for voters ahead of Saturday's election, with farmers protesting Labour's proposed water tax.
The results of a new Water New Zealand survey show the vast majority of Kiwis want commercial water users to be charged, and are concerned about the quality of waterways.
Seventy seven per cent of those surveyed said agriculture and horticulture users should pay for water, as did 77 per cent of participants living in rural communities
Fifty nine per cent of respondents said that all water users should pay, and 42 per cent of respondents thought they were already paying for water use.
A clear majority, 89 per cent, thought bottled water companies and similar industries should pay.
"Interestingly, these responses are consistent across city, regional and rural regions," Water New Zealand said in the survey report, released on Wednesd
So the latest Colmar Brunton, the most reliable according to EZ, showing National pulling ahead of Labour quite a bit and NZF struggling just above 5% as I've been expecting. Personally I think the polls are all over the place and the election too close to call. I would not be surprised if we end up with only 4-5 parties represented in Parliament next term !
