WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A QUICK FIX BY CENTRAL GOVT 20 PLUS YEARS AGO HAS DELIBERATELY BEEN LEFT UNADDRESSED

The Local Govt Act 2002 was legislated upon even though it was known there were loopholes in the Bill. We’ve heard the war cries ‘Blame the Farmers’. But the complete absence of successive Govts fixing pollution, and environmental problems of their own doings from 23 years ago (I am referring to the Local Govt Act 2002 )

Although the Govt were well aware of errors in the Local Govt Act they still passed it in the House,  legislated it. Various Councilors in NZ had pleaded with the Govt to fix the errors but ‘ fixing it was not in their ballpark’. The error in the Act meant that Councils could not issue  Infringement Fines for Trade Waste Consent Breaches. Instead it would mean  very timely costly Court prosecutions.

26th January 2021 again it was drawn to the Govts attention the concerns as to hundreds of Trade Waste Consents being breached, and no Infringement Fines could be used to deter the breaching of Consents. Instead it was advised that Councils take an Educative Approach (The Local Govt Act 2002 had been legislated on almost 20 years prior to this)

Nanaia Mahuta announced that in February 2021 the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai would be addressing Waste and other problems. Adding that it would be several years before Taumata Arowai would be able to address the loopholes in the Local Govt Act 2002.  The Advisory Board to Taumata Arowai was firstly chaired by Dame Haren Potasi. Then on 20th May 2021 the Chair became Nanaia Mahuta’s sister Tipa Mahuta.

Tipa Mahuta having served on the Waikato Regional Council. Also Co-Chair of the Waikato River Authority and the Maori Health Authority. In 2022 Ardern dodged controversial questions about Tipa Mahuta being in a pivotal role within Three Waters. Raveen Jaduram is now the Chair of the Advisory Board for Taumata Arowai

26th January 2021 Nanaia Mahuta Local Govt Minister announced that councils will take  stronger actions against companies that dump contaminated waste water – even though these loopholes still existed. RNZ articles were published revealing damming information / evidence of hundreds of Trade Waste Consent Breaches by Supermarkets * Bakeries * Takeaway Shops * Supermarkets * and other producers and manufacturers. (Even those with Brand Names)

RNZ listed publicly names of the companies/ businesses that breached their Trade Waste Consents – and how many times in one year- and under which Council. References were made to some of the following businesses/companies : The Wallace Group * Yoplait * Ernest Adams * Talleys * McCains *AFFCO * Sanfords * DB Draught Breweries * Heartland Potato Chips *Medallion Pet Food *Ovation I Sth Canterbury By-Products * Fonterra * NZ’s largest Maori Fishing Company Moana Fisheries

And even Horowhenua District Council that breaches its own consent condition that it imposed upon itself when they allowed the Levin Landfill to discharge a chemical filled liquid that was heavy in Ammonia & Nitrogen which the Wastewater Plant could not cope with. RNZ 21/2/2021 article referred to companies dumping contaminants down drains. Naming the companies.. the number breached Trade Waste Consents for each individual company and the Council they resided under. NOTING – There was no Infringement Fines.

The gory details were published as to ‘Blood red water, globs of yellow animal fat that gushed from Dunedin sewers into the Green Islans Wastewater Plant. Greasy liquid that clogged filters, coated Ultra Violet Lights used to disinfect effluent, which had to be scrubbed time and time again. It was reported this had been happening for years

The ‘Keep It Clean Plant’- Wallace Group was reported to having caused havoc on a Wastewater Plant before this water was sent out to sea off the Dunedin Coast. The same sort of scenes were playing out across NZ. An expert  that had worked in the environmental industry around trade waste for many years reported that “Once Trade Waste is dumped it can destroy Bio-diversity- Choke Rivers * Cause havoc to Marine Life.

Hundreds of companies were dumping contaminants of Blood * Fat  * Toxic Chemicals * Ammonia * Sulfides into sewers breaching Trade Waste Consents. Tauranga Council forking out $28, 606 in Clean-Up Costs for Trade Waste Consent breaches in 2019 when upmarket ..   Ziwi -Peak Petfood company racked up 12 breaches in 1 year.

Not every Council keeps track on Trade Waste Consent breaches. Some leave it to the Company/Businesses to do their own checking. So its difficult to get a true accurate picture of the actual number of Trade Waste Consent Breaches. Auckland Council Watercare refused to give out the names of the companies/businesses that had breached Trade Waste Consent Breeches or the number of Breeches that had occurred. (Saying it’s Reasons of Privacy)

For instance: Talley’s Group website describes itself as ‘Bringing you the best of NZ- Fresh Mussels pulled out of pristine waters. Fresh fish in gleaming ice buckets & smiling factory workers gently mixing peas, corn & carrots on a production line. But 4 out of 17 of Talley’s factories breached Trade waste Consents.

Two of AFFCO Plants together Breached their Oil & Grease limits, (a combination of 190 times and their Sulfide limits 519 times. AFFCo Mear Works breaching its Trade Waste Consent- 33 times in 2 years -2018-July 2020. Napier Council struggled to fix waste from AFFCO Napier site along with 21 other Trade Waste Consent Holders over the previous 5 years. Diverting waste to the City Biological Trickling Plant, that’s not designed to treat Industrial Waste (This partially treated Trade Waste was then discharged into the sea off the Napier Coast

Tasman Tanning was reported to be causing issues at the Whanganui Waste Treatment Plant. Its website declaring that “Leather- its our Nature’ that’s amid pristine landscapes & waterways. But dumps too much Chromium into the sewer. (Chromium is a heavy toxic metal). The company breaching its Chromium limits 205 times in  1 year. And clocked up 221 Sulphite * Oil and Grease Breaches over that same period

Tasman Tanning had installed a special Filter, that didn’t work therefore reported in 2021 that they would spending $1 million on a new system to filter the Chromium out of the waste water. However the company’s Timaru branch also breached Trade Waste Consents 73 times between October 2019 & August 2020. Overshooting their limits on Sulfide *Zinc * Chromium and Ammonia leaching it down the drain

RNZ reported the comments of an Expert – a Trade Waste Advisor of 20 plus years, who had worked on some of the biggest waste Water Projects in NZ & Australia– Tara Okan. He gave recognition to the huge problem of many companies/businesses in NZ and their breaching of Trade Waste Consents. Referring to ageing infrastructure * The Councils having little to no Waste Water expertise *That companies deliberately push their Consents close to the mark to ‘Maximize Profits’

Calling them Cowboys that Run Rough Shod Over NZs Environment & not wanting to fix problems only to maximize shareholder value. Adding that ‘Trade Waste is usually a lot more toxic than other waste, can cause major effects- kill rivers. Chemicals poured down drains can produce Sulfuric Acid that dissolve concrete infrastructure ( Erode Pipes under the ground) which are extremely expensive to replace. At a minimum of $5,000 per metre.

Where pipes have burst, there’s been situations where vehicles- peoples have been walking across the ground and fallen into pipes that have collapsed under ground beneath them. That contaminated waste water can kill Micro-organisms inside a Wastewater Treatment Plant * Can suffocate creatures in the waterways where waste water is discharges * that contaminants suck up all the Oxygen.

Thus Monitoring * Treatment & Mitigation of Trade Waste is vitally Important, as it also protects Rate Payer Assets * Maintains life in our Environment. RNZ had no problems in researching publishing Stats from a number of Councils across NZ as to what companies/ businesses has breached Trade Waste Consents and the number of times annually in 2021.

However  – today  I have found through my research ( November 1st 2025 )Stats on Companies that  may have breached Trade Waste Consents between 2024-2025 are absent throughout  Councils across NZ. (No the Loopholes- Errors have not been fixed). It is reported that there is ongoing legislative attention and local regulatory updates on specific issues being address (Review of Local Bylaws & Proposed National Legislation that has NOT yet been implemented or passed in the House

Various Reports & Govt updates highlighting 2025 issues of Regulatory gaps in  unresolved General Waste Management. With Local Councils noting that there are ongoing problems with ‘Non-compliance Notices’ * Trade waste * addressing issues effectively.. Loopholes are still left open. Trade waste is a matter of ongoing Legislation and local regulatory updates that mention specific aspect relevant to Trade Waste- where enforcements are still considered insufficient (Not Fixed)

The Erosion of Infrastructure  (Underground Pipes) , as erosion continues  and pipes have to be replaced* Ageing  Infrastructure- associated costs are directly paid for by the Rate Payers through much higher Rate Bills. This means a massive investment required to fix or replace 1,000’s of kilometers of old & eroding underground pipes

At an estimated spend of $120- $185 Billion over the next 30 years to upgrade Water Infrastructure, which Ratepayers are required to pay- either through Rates or Targeted Water Charges. The consequence of the financial burden of historical under investment and the neglect of the Govt to fix the Local Govt Act 2002 Errors Loopholes)

Over a period now of 23 years which has allowed businesses/companies to leach damaging chemicals etc., into drains- sewers- and Trade Wastes that cover the lights in Waste Treatment Plants often not being able to cope with the Trade Waste contamination. Taumata Arowai the New Water Regulator is a Government Entity that operate independently as a Water Service Regulator. Controlled by its own independent Ministerial Appointed Board which works in partnership with a Iwi/Maori Advisory Group (Te Puna).

Described as including the Obligations to Iwi/Maori and being accountable to the House of Representatives for its actions. The Maori Advisory Group ‘Te Puna’ is integral to the Governance of the Organization- advising the Board on Maori Interests * Knowledge  as to the fundamental importance of water * and the Principles of the Treaty Of Waitangi. (The Treaty of Waitangi 1830 did not create a Partnership nor did it create Principles)

Out of curiosity I researched for Trade Waste Consent Breaches- Dates – And Councils for Trade Waste Consent Breaches…Mata Piako * Hamilton * Christchurch * Auckland * Whangarei * Blenheim * Hastings * Invercargill. However Invercargill District Council refer enquiries for Trade Waste Consent  Breaches to Environmental Southland.  Then Environmental Southland  refer back to the Council  for info on Stats..(purposeful deliberate duck shoving & scape goating)

Research led me once again to the Local Govt Act 2022, described as having persistent drafting errors preventing Council from issuing Infringement Fines on Companies/Businesses that breach their Trade Waste Consents. No Infringement Fines issued. Hence the Govt has now introduced its “Local Water Done Well Plan’.. replacement program described as –

“Aiming for the new legislation to strengthen Central Govt oversight by ‘Regulating the Economic & Environment Performance of Water Services”. Helping Councils to transition, defer their Reviews of Water Service Bylaws, to be completed by July 1st 2026. October 2025 the Water Regulator Taumata Arowai became the consulting entity on the National Environmental Performance Standards for Waste Water Treatment.

But its reported that the Trade Waste Consent breaches are still too difficult to enforce despite the New Crown Entity and the  restoration of Council control of Water Services in NZ. Where Councils still face significant hurdles to enforce Trade Waste Consent breaches. No timeline has been given to fix the Local Government Act  2002.

Recalling that in January 2021 Nanaia Mahuta Local Govt Minister announced the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai may take several years before the Trade Waste Consent concerns are addressed. WAITING- WAITING- WAITING- STILL WAITING.  With the Govt using the 2016 Havelock North event to introduce the new Water Regulator Taumata Arowai. When May 21st 2021 Nanaia Mahuta sister  (Tipa Mahuta) was made Chair of the Advisory Board of the new Water Regulator

As costs significantly increase for Ratepayers and the errors causing extra costs still continue to exist. But now what’s changed is that the RNZ Stats, names of Companies/Businesses that breached Trade Waste Consents  were clearly exposed to the public of NZ. Now they are clearly absent from Council Records. But the problems still exist. WakeUpNZ. Researcher-Cassie

Data visualization by Farah Hancock…This story originally said there were at least 270 companies that had breached their trade waste consents. The story has been corrected to say 267. This is because IXOM (Morrinsville), Waste Management and NZ Meat Processors were originally named as having breached their consents, when they had not. This was incorrect information, supplied to us by the Matamata-Piako District Council, and has now been removed.

GOVERNMENT BILLS AND ACTS Blog Posts View all Categories

THE GOVERNMENTS ZILCH TRANSPARENCY AS TO THE THERAPEUTIC PRODUCT BILL

FIRSTLY-TO MAKE MY CASE I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT AN ‘OFF LABEL MEDICINE ‘is, later you will find out why I am explaining this ‘An Off Label Medicine is an unapproved drug can be used under certain regulations, legislations.

Under Sect 23 of the Medicine Act 1981 this provides the Minister of Health to grant provisional consent when considered desirable for the medicines to be sold, supplied or used on a restricted basis (LIMITED BASIS) for the treatment of a LIMITED number of patients (People)

June 12th 2015 The National Library Of Medicine published an article ‘Off-Label drug use as a consent and health regulation issue in New Zealand. ‘Off Label’ described as not yet approved or the status of drugs that have been approved

The NZ Medicines Act 1981 specifically allows for off-label drug use, however this authority is limited-Code of Health & Disability Services Consumers Rights Regulations and Common Law state:- It is required that ‘off-label’ drug use is of an acceptable standard, the patient should be fully informed, the patient must give informed consent.

Off Label drug use is an extremely important issue, the current law provides medical practitioner very wide discretionary power without providing classification for what is required of the practitioner in exercising this discretion ’off label’.

SO WHAT HAS THE NZ GOVTS THEREPEUTIC PRODUCTS BILL  GOT TO DO WITH THE REPLACING OF THE MEDICINES ACT WITH ‘OFF LABEL’ MEDICINE?

The Government had unsuccessfully introduced policy proposals for the Therapeutic Content proposals  back in 2011 and 2016. In 2019 the Therapeutic Product proposal was back on the governments table. “Iwi/Maori natural medicines would be exempted from the Therapeutic Product proposal”

A Med-Safe Report in May 2022 refers to the Medicine Act being replaced with the Therapeutic Products Bill to allow for ‘Off Label’ Medicines Chris Hipkins the COVID19 Response Minister and Andrew Little Minister Of Health where the Director General has the ability to make decisions regarding the administration of the COVID19 jabs, the dose and the frequency as the pandemic developed whilst being outside of the established Medsafe Regulations- medicine process.

A legal base for the provision of the medicines process of any further doses of COVID19 Vaccines (Jabs) including Pfizer’s 4th doses. The 4th dose had not yet been approved by Med-Safe. The government had recommended that Maori and Pacifika peoples over the age of 50 who are immune-compromised can receive the 4th Pfizer dose before winter 2022.  NO public consultation was undertaken as to the governments proposal, however the 4th dose was consistently promoted by mainstream media.

Ministry of Health reported that Pfizer have not yet applied for approval of 4th dose in NZ, that local jurisdictions have to find their own approval strategies.

2.The Ministry of Health reported as to Maori, Pacific peoples health- cannot be overstated as to the impact of COVID19 that there is a time pressure to maximize immunity when winter illnesses are at their peak. (Specific targeting of Maori and Pacific Island peoples for COVID19 jabs -guineapigs) saying “It would be ideal to enable the broader doses of4th Pfizer doses. Opportunities to administer flu and COVID 19 jabs at the same time.

 To provide their populations with 4th doses, but they had to find their own legal route.. However Standing Orders cannot be made for an unconsented medicine (A new medicine), this undermines the purpose and consents process under the 1981 Medicines Act

NOTE: Under the Medicines Act 1981 ‘Off Label’ – number of people receiving doses of ‘unapproved Med-Safe medicines are limited. Pfizer COVID19 dose 4 was unapproved and therefore limited as to how many New Zealanders could receive it.

The government ‘WITH URGENCY’ introduced new arrangements, they  were implemented to amend the Medicine Act introduced 7th June 2022, passed in mid June- recommended by Andrew Little that the Ministry Of Health would be responsible for the implementation of the 4th dose of Pfizer, utilizing all existing delivery settings, processes & technology that has been used previously for the COVID19 rollout.

Ministry Of Health to monitors new data collection. Andrew Little Minister Of Health will administer the application of the Medicines Act 1981 to ensure ‘off-label’ medicines eg COVID19 Pfizer 4th Dose practices.( Ria-moh-amat-may.22.pdf)

In a Court hearing-Judge Rebecca Ellis stated when referring of ‘off label’ medicine, “a limited number of people  specified for in Section 23 Medicines Act 1981. This could NOT be stretched to the whole population over 16years old” Andrew Littles response to Judge Ellis was “I will fix the snag” (Intro to the Therapeutic Product Bill)

RNZ reported 18/5/2021 ‘Technical Anomaly Spurs Urgent Law Change for COVID 19 Vaccine. Government URGENTLY’ seek a change of law to ensure COVID19 Vax rollout is LEGAL following the High Court decision of Judge Rebecca Ellis. Judge Ellis ruled it was ‘reasonably argued, that the governments approval of Pfizer vaccine rollout went beyond the Medicines Act 1981 allowed” . This gave  Andrew Little the right to approve medicines for a limited number of patients. However the COVID 19 Vaccine rollout would cover all New Zealanders over the age of 16years. THUS NOT LIMITED AS IN MEDICINE ACT 1981

Chris Hipkins response to Judge Ellis was “this raises no safety issues, it just highlighted a technical anomaly as to the law. NOTE THE GOVERNMENT WAS TECHNICALLY BREAKING THE LAW. AND THEY NEEDED TO COVER THEIR ARSES.

Andrew Little again responded to Judge Ellis “The government will pass legislation under URGENCY to rectify the problems ( THERAPEUTICS PRODUCTS BILL- This will most definitely be passed to save Governments arses)

Six products are potentially affected by Judge Ellis court decision these include Pfizer Vaccines, 2 Flu Vaccines and 2 types of contraceptives and an electrolyte solution

3.On the 30November 2022 the Therapeutic Product Bill was officially introduced by Andrew Little to the House (Parliament). He describes this in his speech in the Beehive “To modernize the way medicines, medical devices (includes COVID Test Kits) and Natural Health products are regulated. Strict rigorous regulations on natural health products eg. Vit C, Vit D etc., etc., you can buy at the supermarket.

The Therapeutic Product Bill if passed replaces the Medicines Act 1981 and the Dietary Supplement Regulation 1985 with one comprehensive  regulatory regime. Andrew Little stated “FIT FOR THE FUTURE’. Enables NZ to take advantages of advances in medicine -gene therapies, AI and machine learning software also vaccines for pandemics. The Therapeutic Product Bill legislation will work alongside, contribute to ‘Pae Ora Health Futures Act’

David Seymour said “Medsafe tended to approve drugs that were approved elsewhere in the world saying “Well, has Medsafe ever declines to approve a drug that the rest of the world is safe”. David Seymour was supporting replacing the Medicine Act 1981 with the Therapeutic Product legislation. He also stated  “the Court were right to uphold the law, however he backs the law change to replace the Medicine Act with the Therapeutic Product Legislation.

As to Judge Rebecca Ellis court outcome David Seymour said “the Court were right to uphold the law, however he backs the law change to replace the Medicine Act with the Therapeutic Product Legislation. National Party COVID19 Minister Chris Bishop said to reporters that National Party support the law change.  .

RNZ Reported 18/5/2021. Technical Anomaly spurs Urgent Law Change. Government urgently seek a change in law to ensure COVID19 Vaccine rollout is LEGAL following a High Court decision. Judge Rebecca Ellis ruled “it was reasonably argued that the government approval of Pfizer Vaccine rollout went beyond the Medicine Act 1981.

NOTE: The Medicine Act 1981 only gave the government the right to approve a limited number of patients, whereas the COVID19 Vaccine Rollout covered everyone in NZ over 16years of age. There are be legal enforcement includes, huge fines, court hearings etc., for those who do not comply to the Therapeutics Legislation (announced Beehive)

SO BASICALLY—THE THERAPEUTICS PRODUCT BILL IS TO SEVERELY RESTRICT  NEW ZEALANDERS ABILITY TO PURCHASE NATURAL HEALTH REMEDIES. FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO COVER ITS ARSE FOR CRIMINALLY BREAKING THE MEDICINES ACT 1981 BY REPLACING THE MEDICINES ACT WITH THE THEREUPEUTIC PRODUCT BILL TO PROMOTE JABS FOR PANDEMICS, MORE HUMAN TRIAL GUINEAPIGS. THE ADVANCEMENT USE OF AI AND GENETIC CELL ADVANCEMENT TRIALS AND DRUGS.

PARLIAMENT WITH URGENCY ACTIONING 29 LEGISLATIONS’ DEMOCRACY DOES NOT EXIST’. THE PEOPLE HAVE NO VOICE.

Simon O’Connor took time out of Parliament to let the people of NZ know what is happening.

THE PLUNDERING OF NEW ZEALAND…

Beehive Website:  CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): I move, That urgency be accorded the committee stage of the Water Services Entities Bill; the passing through all stages of the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Amendment Bill, the Land Transport (Clean Vehicles) Amendment Bill (No 2), the Social Security (Accommodation Supplement) Amendment Bill, and the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Extension of Act and Reduction of Powers) Amendment Bill; the passing through of the remaining stages of the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Fonterra Capital Restructuring) Amendment Bill,

 the Climate Change Response (Extension of Penalty Transition for Forestry Activities with Low Volume Emissions Liabilities) Amendment Bill, the Arms (Licence Holders’ Applications for New Licences) Amendment Bill,

 and the Companies (Levies) Amendment Bill; the first readings and referral to select committee of the Grocery Industry Competition Bill and the Fuel Industry Amendment Bill; the introduction and first readings and referral to select committee of the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill

and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Amendment Bill; the first reading and referral to select committee of the Legal Services Amendment Bill; the introduction, first reading, and referral to select committee of the Accident Compensation (Access Reporting and Other Matters) Amendment Bill; the first reading and referral to select committee of the Health and Safety at Work (Health and Safety Representatives and Committees) Amendment Bill;

 the third readings of the Security Information in Proceedings Bill, the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Bill, the Māori Purposes Bill, the Remuneration Authority Legislation Bill,  and the Statutes Amendment Bill; and the passing through of the remaining stages of the Organic Products and Production Bill, the Natural Hazards Insurance Bill, the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Bill, and the Civil Aviation Bill.

The passing of the Queen in September meant that Parliament lost a week of parliamentary sitting time and the granting of this urgency motion will allow some of that time to be made up.  DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT, WE DO NOT HAVE STUPID WRITTEN ON OUR FOREHEADS.

There are a number of bills that address issues that do need rapid attention of the House. An example is the Social Security (Accommodation Supplement) Amendment Bill, which will ensure that no disruption or change to the accommodation supplement benefit individuals currently receive.

Both the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Fonterra Capital Restructuring) Amendment Bill and the Climate Change Response (Extension of Penalty Transition for Forestry Activities with Low Volume Emissions Liabilities) Amendment Bill must be enacted by the end of the year.

Seven first readings are including in the motion. Without them, it would not be possible to get these bills off to select committee before Christmas, and some of them, including the Grocery Industry Competition Bill, we do expect will attract a large number of submitters. O

Other bills will have a significant impact in their own areas and they would have considerable delay coming into effect were we not to use urgency in order to progress them further.

The meetings started at 9am and finish at midnight and will most certainly continue all this week.

THE POLITICALLY CRIMINAL HYPOCRISY ‘A BRAVE COURAGEOUS MAN TREATED LIKE A CRIM’ BY NZ GOVT AGENCY

Mark was awarded an N Z Award for bravery for his actions in a dangerous situation, yet a government agency is treating him like a crim. I personally believe we do not have a govt on NZ, we have a regime. One that treats its law abiding citizens like crims.  A man who saves many lives, is compassionate and courageous.  In support for this New Zealand hero I have decided to add my voice to this and share with you some information that we should not put to one side. We should support this man as much as we can as he battles a government agency.

ARDERN’S HAPPINESS INDICATOR INDEX & HER WELLBEING BUDGET EQUATES TO ‘DE-GROWTH’.

THE PLUNDERING OF NEW ZEALAND’

It is clearly evidenced that soon after the Local Government Act 2002 was introduced that there was a serious  legal loophole which actually blows Ardern’s biodiversity, eco-socialism right out the window of anticipation.

RNZ published several news articles in 2021 referred to this loophole that the government has deliberately ignored for almost 20 years, that has often bought to their attention by local council representatives and other water experts. RNZ news reports refer to ‘Trade Waste Water Breaches, literally hundreds of them in one year, some of these companies have breeched these trade  waste water consents multiple times in one year. Some of these companies are well known brand names and market themselves as ‘sustainability’. No company has been prosecuted or fined for leaching contaminants down drains.

RNZ  reported an amendment to close an loophole in the Local Government Act 2002 has been ignored by a succession of govts.

Christopher Luxon  was approached by RNZ, he had some choice words for these companies but has any political party done anything about amending this major loophole in the Act ?-NO.

Luxon replied “ Being a former CEO of Air NZ  and at Unilever as well, its quite shocking companies would breach trade consents. But Luxon does not let the cat out the bag that Unilever has been named multiple times in the news for plastic pollution. News articles such as  Nestle, PepsiCo and Unilever plastic pollution. ‘Conflicts, companies, human rights and water.(Link, https://www.world-psi.org › documents › research )

Three Waters–NZ Govt would not fix their own fkups so be real do you really trust them after-all like crooks they are robbing tax payer assets. Mining and oil production uses large amounts of water, and pollutes water … the drinks (and food) companies Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle and Unilever,..

Unilever named as one on the top companies in Indonesia for plastic waste pollution along with Santos, Jaya Abahi and IndoFoods (LINK  https://www.theindonesia.id › ..2022  )

There was a drafting error in the law which meant the regulations of the Local Government Act that has caused the problem of companies polluting water ways for almost 20 years.  Regulation to fine, prosecute companies therefore could not be written. It was a drafting error- governments fault perhaps we should throw them under the tractor instead of the farmers.

Mahuta was approached by RNZ, she responded saying “ the new water regulator Taumata Arowai would be looking at ways waste water is treated”. In another interview Mahuta.the polluter referred to an educational approach to these companies that breach trade waste water consents. She also said it would be at least another two years before the new waste water regulating body tackles the problem”

Use this response by Mahuta and all those other political cronies in cesspit of Wellington, this will surely give you some idea that Three Waters is already a problem in the making.

RNZ named some of the companies in one of their news articles that have breached trade waste water consents- Talleys, Ernest Adams, Yoplait are just a few of the hundreds of companies that have breached trade waste water consents in just one year. Some companies have dumped toxins, high nitrates, ammonia, chemicals, blood and yellow yukky glob down drains.

This includes bakeries, supermarkets and other businesses. A lot of gunk over almost 20 years. Dumping contents of grease traps. Some of the biggest manufacturers and brands discharging contaminants, many of them are dangerous, and some have breached consents multiple times.

RNZ reported they had obtained data from 68 city and district councils that revealed a grim pictures of non compliance of trade waste water consents of at least 267 companies

RNZ 5th February 2021 news article referred to a description of some of the evidence they were provided with “blood red water and globs of yellow animal fat, greasy liquid clogging filters and coating ultraviolet lights used to disinfect the effluent. These same scenes were being played out right across NZ. An expert reported that even once treated, the waste being dumped can destroy biodiversity, choke rivers, wreck havoc on marine life. Some company’s have dumped toxic chemicals, eg., ammonia, sulphides into sewers. RNZ reported that in Timaru every trade waste water  holder had  breeched consent conditions.

In Hawkes Bay 6 out of 8 companies breached consents, companies that call themselves sustainable such as ‘the sustainable fishing company Sanford’, DB Draught Brewery, frozen food manufacturer-McCains, Heartland  Potato Chips, Medallion Pet Food, the Wallace Groups rendering plant and Sth Canterbury By-Products.  In Palmerston North 8 out of 9 consent holders breached consents multiple times, including 2 sites belonging to Fonterra, Goodman Fielders Ernest Adams and Yoplait factories also the largest Maori owned fishing company in NZ “Moana NZ’

RNZ revealed that no every council keeps track on consent breaches & not every council is transparent.  In several regions its hard to get an accurate picture on how companies behave because some councils do not have rules about what is dumped in the sewers, some rarely monitor dumping, some companies are left to manage this themselves. RNZ also reported that Auckland Councils Watercare services which manages the largest wastewater network in NZ refused to answer questions posed by RNZ about companies breaching consents. They responded ‘for privacy reasons’

The point is the government is hugely  responsible for the serious issues of toxins, contaminants and  dangerous chemicals being dumped into sewers and drains because they deliberately let this happen for almost 20 years. They ignored this serious problem time and time again. Despite all of this dumping of contaminants RNZ reported ‘ not one company has been slapped with fines or prosecution’. Some companies that are breaching their trade waste water consents are also potentially costing rate payers, tax payers a heap of money

Because for instance ammonia and other chemical eat away underground concrete pipes, damage public infrastructure that has to be paid for my rate payers. One trade Waste Water expert reported that industries have deliberately pushed their consents so close to the mark to maximise shareholder value. This expert said that  “trade water is usually a lot more toxic than other things can have a major impact, it can kill rivers” and “chemicals poured down the drain can produce sulphuric acid which can dissolve concrete infrastructure. Expensive infrastructure that’s put in the ground at a minimum cost of $5,000 per metre, is now being eaten away. “ That pipes have burst, there have been situations where vehicles and people have actually fallen into pipes which have collapsed under the ground”.  He said that “Contaminated waste water can kill microorganisms inside a waste water treatment plant and suffocate creatures in the waterways where its eventually discharged, as contaminants which suck  up all the oxygen.

Nanaia Mahuta has held this portfolio since 2017, when asked about this serious issue she told RNZ “I ‘will  have to seek some advice” and “this concern has only just been raised with me” Her reply 10 days later to a LGNZ plea was “While I recognise the law is not working as well as it could, it is not clear to me that infringement offences are always effective in changing behaviour”. Mahuta said Bylaws give councils flexibility to establish rules suited to their circumstances in order to control behaviours in public places. It is my view that careful consideration should be given before extending powers” Mahuta’s key adviser, Michael Lovett, Dept of Internal Affairs Deputy Chief Executive was also unconvinced a law change was needed. He said “Why change the legislation when you can change the infrastructure”. Precisely, no accountability and no transparency, accept no responsibility. No instead they throw the farmers under their tractors, use them as the govts whipping boy, but allow serious polluted shit in drains and sewers that escape into rivers.

Nanaia Mahuita and her ‘Three Waters Reform’ how in hell could anyone trust this govt, almost 20 years of shit, toxic chemicals, contaminants and successive govts ignored this. Nanaia Mahuta and her Three Water Reform- Mahuta the Polluter. Never mind the insanity of the Fart and Belch Tax the general public need to get wind of this.

And what does Mahuta say about the new waste water regulator -Taumata Arowai that’s been created to oversee reforms of the Three Waters Reform. Oh, they won’t be tackling this trade waste water pollution for another 2 years at least. Said Mahuta the Polluter  Well its been almost twenty years now, whats another 2 years. It was reported that some trade waste water officers have had to stand down and when they would not, they have been moved out of their jobs. I have provided links to the RNZ news articles on my website.

Lastly one of RNZ news articles named companies that had breached their  trade waste water consents, including one company that  discharged too much contaminants. Discharged too much sulphide, zinc, chromium and ammonia. RNZ referred to 267 breaches to trade waste water consents in one year. Remember the Labour Govt, Aunty Helen when she tried to introduce the fart tax several years back. National MP Shane Ardern driving the tractor up the stairs of Parliaments

I had to laugh after reading the Rural News on Fart Tax where one person said that vegans and vegetarians in the country should pay a greater tax contribution under the ETS “By eschewing high quality meat proteins for a bean based diet, they will be adding considerably more to global emissions”. Note: An article published on the fraud on the European Union Emission Trading Scheme, that the ETS scheme has grown in size and value and has become an increasingly attractive playground for fraudsters.

The Guardian reported that Australia’s carbon credit scheme ‘largely a sham, says whistle-blower who tried to rein it in. Prof Andrew MacIntosh said the system, which gives credits for projects such as regrowing native forests after clearing, is a fraud on the environment, tax payers and consumers. He described the govts emission scheme overseen by the govt and the clean energy regulator as ‘largely a sham’, as most of the carbon credits approved did not represent real or new cuts in greenhouse emissions, describing the fraud as hurting the environment and wasting a billions dollars of tax payer funding. MacIntosh is an environmental law and policy professor at the Australian National University.

Ardern continues to be seen as the world  eco socialist leader if this Fart and Belch Tax comes about NZ will be the first country in the world to charge farmers on this insanity. The payable amount will depend on how much stock the farmer owns and the size of the farm, the type of fertilizer used.

NZ relies on the meat and dairy industries for our economy. However it appears that the  Eco Socialist globally are looking at Ardern as their leader with her Wellbeing Budget, 4th year running and her happiness indicator index. This is none other that destructive strategies for the degrowth of New Zealand. Transformation for a Red-Green Future.

Productive forces that are really destructive forces, destructive Marxist strategies. You will own nothing and you will be happy. The plundering of NZ.

Land grabs, Water Grabs, Water as an algorithm on the stock market. Follow the money, always follow the money. Massive exploitations of populations worldwide. NZ the outpost of the UN and the guineapig state of the world Economic Forum

No Farmers No Food.  Time to speak out about this hypocritical government that deliberately attacks farmers as they have been highly influential players in mass pollution and huge infrastructure costs over almost twenty years because they deliberately ignored the serious problem that the drafting of the Local Govt Act loophole was never amended

Why Not??????

And why should we replace a free-market enterprise economy with a multistakeholder corporate one that destroys the farming industry and small businesses?

PLEASE NOTE: Again I add that the people are the solution. The solution are the people. There is no such thing as democracy in New Zealand. New Zealanders are living in a democratic deficit. I urge the people of New Zealand to talk with minor parties who have established themselves as political parties for the coming NZ General elections – 2023 to speak with them about adopting a policy that gives citizens end decision making rights.. ‘A Citizens Initiated Binding Referendum. The Citizen Initiated Referenda Act in Non Binding therefore no matter how many signatures you have that support your issues and concerns you have no end decision rights. All end decision rights belong to the government. Carol Sakey. ‘WakeUpNZ’
