National want to privatise water

Why is it the only business model National's mates in the business community seem to know is to seek a monopoly on an essential resource, courtesy of their political agents and clients, and then clip the ticket?

They're at it again.

This time, the government plan to privatise our water, handing it over to private operators. We've been here before with TranzRail, Telecom and Air New Zealand. This will see us all paying more for water and workers in the water services paid less. The difference will be the "profit".

Same old story. Are people really dumb enough to let them get away with it? Again?

Guess we'll find out.
