So I got curious about who had access to water from the Waikato River and I discovered that Wairakei Pastoral Ltd (dairy agribusiness) has access to more water than all of Auckland, at around 153 million litres PER DAY. WPL is owned by ten people. https://t.co/spjz4BPBLf

The SkyCity Convention Centre fire led me to re-read the Auditor Generals damning report of the process that Key, Joyce and Brownlee followed to give the Convention Centre deal to Skycity in 2011.

As we recover from Covid, let's not go back to normal.

'Normal' was the problem.

Let's transform the ways we produce food, create energy and interact with nature.

Now is our chance to #BuildBackBetter and create a #NewNormal that's cleaner, more sustainable and more fair.
