Your old mate sees that Auckland water and wastewater provider Watercare is making a big song and dance about its donation of $200,000 – over four years – to help clean up the Waikato River.
Apparently $50k a year will go to the Waikato RiverCare project, involved in planting and maintaining native plants along the banks of the lower Waikato River. This coming from the same company responsible for the Queen City’s current water quality that’s seen swimming banned at 10 Auckland beaches this summer – because of worsening pollution from human and domestic animal wastes. Imagine the outcry from anti-farming groups like Fish and Game, Forest and Bird and Greenpeace, and self-proclaimed water quality experts Mike Joy and Rachel ‘Toxic’ Stewart, if Dairy NZ or Fonterra did such a thing and then tried to buy off criticism with a $50k a year donation?
