David Seymour on Govt's reversal on Three Waters entrenchment

The Government's backed down on a highly controversial element of its Three Waters reforms.

It's dumping the entrenchment clause against water privatisation, which was voted through under urgency.

Leader of the House Chris Hipkins says entrenchment was a mistake, and had wider implications that Government isn't comfortable with.

It'll be ditched as soon as the House resumes tomorrow.

Hipkins has written to both National and ACT seeking confirmation they'll also protect water assets from privatisation.

ACT leader David Seymour joined Kerre Woodham.
