The Government is making modifications to the Three Waters legislation, and the changes are expected to be up before Parliament before the end of the week.

Political editor Barry Soper explained that more constitutional changes to the legislation will be made tonight, and that Nanaia Mahuta in particular is striving to improve the contents of this bill to save Labour's public image.

Barry Soper has also observed that the Three Waters constitutional changes were implemented because Jacinda Ardern stated that the original legislation was 'shabbily drafted'.
