What's your opinion of allowing water bottling in Christchurch?
In Belfast the former Kaputone plant is now being converted to a Water bottling operation with consent for 4.3million litres Per Day being transferred with the sale at a bargain basement price.
80% of New Zealanders recently polled agreed that there should be a royalty/ levy for this type of business. By adding 3c per bottle produced, NZ could potentially benefit from $millions per year from this single factory. Privatisation by stealth in other words of a NZ resource if it was oil or gas royalties would apply, so why not for this?
