Te Mana o Te Wai

The Scrap Te Mana o te Wai campaign is fighting to remove Labour’s freshwater framework, which puts vague and subjective concepts at the heart of water regulation and leaves councils and ratepayers facing costly and uncertain rules.

We exposed the millions councils are spending implementing the framework, challenged Ministers to scrap it, and mobilised thousands of New Zealanders to submit directly to the Government. The campaign continues as we push the Coalition to fully repeal Te Mana o te Wai and replace it with clear, practical and democratically accountable rules for managing freshwater.
