Well you can't do anything with it (apart from providing stock-water) without a water right - unless you buy it off the council for a specific purpose!

I'll lay good money that more than half (it could be less, but I doubt it) the rural homes in Godzone exist because they collect and use rainwater off the roof ..

In Kapiti new houses have to harvest and store rain water for the garden.

True but they still have to pay rates to have the roof there to collect the rain - indirect cost through legislation!

Anything that is free in this country simply means someone else is paying! - This information is not free I have to pay Spark for the privilege!

Show me legislation in Godzone that prohibits rainwater being collected.

It's been rolled up into the resource management act.

And yes, water is a resource managed under the act.

Well, it is for most people. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/poli...freshwater-bid

Just did a quick search of that & of over 100 mentions of 'water' not 1 says you can't collect it when it falls from the sky... you can take the tin foil hat off for the moment, your stupid worlder mates haven't outlawed it in NZ quite yet, they're still working on that one apparently.

In Federated Farmers we place our trust that collecting rainwater in NZ will never be illegal...

I never said it wasn't legal to collect rainwater from your roof.

I said it was subject to resource consent. In other words, like pretty much every other country there MAY be constraints placed on your use of "your" water if that affects others. History's full of hydraulic monopolies, and laws controlling/preventing them have been around almost as long.

It's fuck all to get your G string in a knot about, the law's there simply to make sure arseholes don't starve their downstream neighbours of water.

Except here, of course. Here it's "Big Water", depriving the peeple of their rightfull.... sorry, got a little sick there, carry on.

Chapman Tripp publication:

New Zealand now an attractive tax location for offshore managed funds
10 October 2011

"Foreign investors in a New Zealand fund with only foreign investments will now bear no New Zealand tax on their income, whether or not the fund distributes that income. The tax change, which came into force in September 2011, should make New Zealand managed funds an attractive alternative to funds resident in Luxembourg, Ireland or the Caymans."

So ... we are not a tax haven ... yeah right ..

Aye... coz who in their right mind would have already have made their decision by now based on the evidence already before the jury for consideration. A lovely little irony, there's no one to grass too
