Donna Hall is just "very happy" that her gravy train is chugging along nicely.

Make them accountable for all the flood damages 'their' water is causing.
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

Ownership of water....
You collect rain water in a tank........
Build a bigger tank (say a pond) and collect rain water and snow melt.......
Build a dam and collect a lot more rain water and snow melt........
Now some claim ownerhip. WTF is up with that?
So who owns the water me dehumide thingie collects then?
Geothermal....
How can anyone lay claim to that?
Surely it's a joke, it must be..... or perhaps simple poltics "Devide and conquer"?
Is it only me that thinks this is going too far?

I'ma get medieval on your ass!
Well...YES. You own it. How do you think water tankers operate - by renting the water they deliver??
Embracing mediocrity
No, by charging for the service of delivering it.
Much the same as the council charging to take your shit away from your house, pretty sure they have no interest in ownership rights there either.
Perhaps people should start sending Hone some of that water, if it got delivered it would save him from taking the piss.

For once I hope the Maoris get their way. Better than having that jew sell us out.

There is a distinct difference beween owning a "water right" and owning "water".
It is absurdly easy to own water. You can collect it, bottle it, and sell it. Check out your local dairy.
However that is not the issue here - and John Key is at fault for making it seem about owning water. Instead the Waitangi claim is about water rights.
The argument is that some Maori tribes in some places (not everywhere) have traditional rights to draw and use water from springs, streams, and rivers. In one case the local council undermined the spring and grabbed the water.
Now you and I do not have to like that argument - no problem. But lets have a rational debate. Water rights are a big deal all over the world and certainly here in the dryer parts of NZ. Serious money goes into claiming and protecting water rights - its a Pakeha concept. Maori are just a bit late to the party.
Que?
Depending on where you are the delivery company has to pay for the water itself so technically they're selling you water & charging a delivery fee. Having grown up in Wellington where fresh water is seemingly abundant it was a shock when I moved to Auckland to be confronted with regular water bills based on usage

"channellling the Pleideans"
my biggest issue with legal aid? that it is used to fund these Waitangi Tribunal applications and processes. It sucks up MILLIONS of dollars, and pollies point to it and go "Oooooh lawyers are rorting the system": Not really.
Sure, fund indigent mari tribes to claim stuff from the mythical taxpayer. (i.e. you and me) but vote it out of the maori affaris budget, not legal aid.
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever, done legal aid work.

think of it like a bottle of Stella: they give you free beer, but they rent you the bottle. Plus when you have filtered it thru your kidneys, thus adding much needed taste and flavour, it goes striaght to their local bottling factory where they refill, and rent you another bottle.
