Pouarua Water Storage Scheme Gets Government Backing
The Government is backing work on a community-led water storage scheme that could irrigate up to 11,000 more hectares of the Poverty Bay flats, Agriculture Minister Todd McClay says.
In a political discussion – held at the conference between O’Connor and National’s ag spokesman Todd McClay –the Minister told the audience of 300 meat industry people that we “probably don’t have enough tax in this country… we are going to have to contribute more!”
Apparently, O’Connor’s desire to tax New Zealanders more went down with this audience about as well as a fake meat burger!
The fact is that Labour wants more tax despite the fact it is now collecting $100 million more a day in tax than when they came to power in 2017!
