Labour wants to introduce a charge on water exports and says the Government is “kicking the can down the road” by not addressing it before the election.
On Monday Prime Minister Bill English changed tack and announced “growing public concern” was behind the decision to write to the Ministry for the Environment’s water allocation technical advisory group, asking it to consider “the issues around exporting water”.
Until then the Government had been reluctant to investigate the issue – Environment Minister Nick Smith had called the idea “farcical” – but public outcry prompted English to act.
