The Government has recently stated that they will take the Three Waters legislation to parliament's Business Committee to discuss entrenchment.

This entrenchment provision, if implemented, will require 60 percent of MPs to overturn the provision in the future, an increase to the previous threshold of 50 percent.

Fran O'Sullivan, NZME business commentator says that it's important that legal experts continue to seek clarification on this, as this is bigger than privatisation, especially if National comes into power next year.
