Just in time for Wellington's fleeting "real summer" cranking up this weekend, all the south coast has become a raw sewage spill.

If only some govt with the gift of foresight could have passed a law to use the Crown's balance sheet and superb credit to help councils pay for upgraded and future-proof water assets.

In another timeline, this would be getting fixed and we wouldn't have a pack of racist blowhards selling us out to murderous nazis and private capital.

Are all the anti-cogovernance zealots happy yet? Because I am fucking livid. #NZPol
