Nanaia Mahuta: Three Waters Minister says we've "lost sight of its real aims" - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Minister-in-charge of Three waters says we've lost sight of its real aims.

A new report's outlined proposed changes based on cross-party select committee recommendations.

These include an annual shareholders meeting and a mix of rural, provincial and metropolitan councils present on regional groups.

Nanaia Mahuta says that debate around co-governance has been a distraction - and we've lost focus on the reform's key drivers.

She says these are that we have an unsustainable way of funding infrastructure, as well as a cost-of-living crisis - so we need to find a way through this.
