@nzmrichards @RobertGlennieNZ @sophie__mcinnes @ECan Appointed boards. Max proposed is 12 people per entity. 48 people with no accountability to local communities managing waste, storm & fresh water for +5 million people. Appointments made on a population basis. Regional representation will be negligible.

Retweet if you agree.
