12. Question No. 12—Prime MinisterHon JUDITH COLLINS (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 12—Prime Minister12. Hon JUDITH COLLINS (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by all of her Government's policies and actions?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): Yes. I especially stand by the Government's actions and the actions of all parties in this Parliament in fact alongside those incredible providers on the ground that ensured Super Saturday was a success and worked so hard to make it so. Working together every single person providers business nurses vaccinators—everyone—we smashed through our target of 100000 vaccinations by mid-afternoon and went on to see 130000 doses administered in just one day. Most heartening: 39000 of those doses were people receiving their very first dose a quarter of which were amongst Māori. Kawerau led the country in first doses administered per capita and Ashburton led on second doses seeing nearly 5 percent of their population become fully vaccinated on Saturday. There are countless other great stories from Super Saturday right across the country but in short to everyone vaccinated on the day and to all those already vaccinated I just want to say thank you very much for your vaccination.Hon Judith Collins: Has Cabinet considered any proposals to make the three waters reforms compulsory?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Of course Cabinet discussions remain in Cabinet until such a time as those decisions are publicly released. When it comes generally to the three waters proposals the member will know that we feel very strongly about the fact that the status quo is not an option. Without change ratepayers will face increasing costs. Their bills will go up. Our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate. Already we have sewage regularly pumped into our oceans and our beaches and if we're all being honest decades of under-investment in our infrastructure is contributing to our housing crisis. The status quo is not an option.Hon Judith Collins: Will she rule out her Government mandating the three waters reforms on all councils thereby forcibly seizing ratepayer water assets?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I totally reject the premise of that question. The idea of seizing assets I would completely reject. What we all have a duty to do—and I would've thought that the Opposition would be of course all too familiar with the reason that this work started: people in Havelock North were made incredibly sick and some died because of issues with water in New Zealand and its provision. Work was started and completed and then as a result we've undertaken a reform process. Our desire has always been to work alongside local government to try and find the best way to ensure we gain efficiencies and outcomes from our water infrastructure that we can all be proud of: safe drinking water decent investment in infrastructure that allows the housing growth we need and for our environment to no longer see sewage pumped into our waterways. That is why we've undergone this process. If the member wants to stand still and allow all of that to continue it's her prerogative. Hon Judith Collins: Will she continue to take the path of forcibly seizing council water assets with the Opposition confirming today that a future National Government will return all confiscated assets to the local councils from which they have been taken?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: All the member has confirmed is that under a potential National Government ratepayers would experience thousands of dollars in increases in their bills and the continuation of under-investment that means we have an ongoing housing crisis and sewage pumped into our oceans.
