You must be FKN joking

Please show us where any Maori have claimed "exclusive rights" to water.
Not going to happen is it ?

Can't be fucked. Check through stuff a couple of weeks ago if it really worries you.

And no, I don't think so. The point is; why would any group demand better rights than are already afforded every member of the NZ public unless it was to exclude free access to another group. Do you seriously believe that, if successful they wouldn't charge energy companies for the use of it?

So, again: who's trying to deny access to whom?

I guess a couple of barrels are small systems? And a tank is large? Is council involved with the large only? Or do they poke their noses into any?



OK...

Found this document.
Council appears keen to stick their nose in for larger water collection tanks but adding a [few?] small tanks seems OK.

Mine are 44Gal drum size (220Lt) sourced from Barry's Barrels. http://www.bb.net.nz/

I'm going to piss in the river every day from now on, just because.

We aren't on town water, so I'm not worried in the least.

Oh dear. We have a couple of 20,000 litre tanks under the house and are currently plumbing in another 10,000 litre jobbie. Who do I make the cheque out to?

Water rights put first

So who owns the water? according to some Maori, maori do.
I must be a half wit, or a complete fk wit cause I thought the stuff fell from the sky.

Dont laugh , when it came to Bolivia , the French water company ( from memory ) said just that , they had the rights to all the water ,,,,even the stuff from the sky

Could happen

I'll paint my face black and call myself Tahu, then you can address the cheque to me.
