IrrigationNZ says that introducing a nationwide water tax is not workable.

Irrigators say they are looking forward to continuing to develop a constructive and productive working relationship with the new government.

Labour Party leader Jacinda Ardern says after National came into power it shelved the Environment Court judge David Sheppard’s national policy statement (NPS) initiated by the last Labour government.

If elected, Labour’s charge on water for irrigation will be a “small royalty” for all “substantial takes”, says spokesman for water and the environment David Parker.
