Groundswell NZ’s ‘Mother of all meant to do, there should be no Protests’ will go ahead on problems,’’ Bryce explained. The group wants freshwater Sunday, November 21st, even if there are still Covid-19 improvement to be managed by catchment groups, and rules restrictions in some parts of the country. The protest follows about significant natural areas the ‘Howl of a Protest’, which and the ‘ute tax’ to be re-written or abolished. took place in July 2021, when an estimated 60,000 people Local contact, Derek Bull turned out to protest against commented, “the unworkable Government regulations. regulations being forced on Groundswell NZ leader, Bryce farmers by this dictatorship McKenzie said, “the group had Government, the equally met online recently and decided unwanted Three Waters takeover to go ahead with the nationwide being forced on every ratepayer protest against some Government now involves all New Zealanders, regulations, which the group said despite opposition from 60 of the are unworkable for farmers but 67 District Councils in New are not only specific to the rural Zealand. community.” “The result will be more layers of “We’re going ahead, we’ve had an bureaucracy, administered by overwhelming response from our more clueless in personable coordinators up and down the emailing keyboarders in faceless country.

If “Your water won't change, the everyone does what they’re real guys doing the spadework locally won't change. But, you can bet your bank account will! “Forced regulations isn't democracy, or the Kiwi way and New Zealanders need to stand up if they wish to maintain the lifestyle they're accustomed to. Don’t be swayed by childish, sludgy tap water cartoon television adverts, just ask Scotland how Three Waters regulations worked out for them,” Derek concluded. The plan is for supporters to drive their utes, tractors, trucks or cars to their nearest town centre, where the group’s statement will be played over the Newstalk ZB radio frequency at 1:35pm. Those taking part will turn up the volume of the radio, turn off their engines, open the windows and unite together, although socially distanced, in protest. The plan isn’t to gridlock New Zealand, although in some places it would probably be inevitable. “Stand against the unworkable regulations that impact you and your family New Zealand, it’s time to unite and force the Government to take notice and acknowledge the Groundswell,” Bryce added. “Join in and help us build momentum towards the ‘Groundswell Gathering’ that will take place February 2022, at Parliament,” Bryce concluded.
