Description

Shows Minister for Local Government, Rodney Hide, telling Aucklanders to relax as they are not going to privatize the rain, just the profits from its capture and distribution. Refers to the denial by by Associate Local Government Minister, John Carter, that a proposal existed to privatise water anywhere in New Zealand. "We are talking about private-public partnerships for the management of water. Councils will always own the water supply, that's what the law requires to have happen," he said.
