To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.

We believe it has become very clear that funding capital infrastructure improvements has been a lower priority than shareholder profit and CEO salaries and bonuses by all the privatised water companies. Therefore, to ensure that our citizens water needs are met, now and in the future, water companies should be re-nationalised to ensure our country's water security in the future.

Government response

Nationalisation would take years, involve a lengthy legal process, and divert time, energy and resources from working on the quickest and most effective way to clean up our rivers, lakes and seas.
