The Prime Minister believes re-structuring water delivery will provide consistency for councils.\xa0

The clock is ticking as the Government has set itself 10 days to pass a Bill repealing Labour's water reforms, which the Government sees as divisive and unpopular.\xa0

It will then aim to make it easier to set up council-controlled water organisations.\xa0

The Prime Minister sees Wellington Water as too local and Labour's plan as too central.\xa0

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking that two guardrails will be put in place around water standards and economic management.\xa0

He says the correct structure provides consistency around rate increases in an efficient way.\xa0

He also told Hosking that Auckland's public transport issues are suboptimal. \xa0

Trains were cancelled yesterday, including at peak time, due to the heat. \xa0

Kiwi Rail, which owns the tracks, put speed restrictions in place as tracks reached 48 degrees in some places. \xa0

It says there's underlying weakness in the section of track, necessitating the restrictions. \xa0

Luxon says that Transport Minister Simeon Brown called the agencies in last night to understand what's happening. \xa0

He says some of the excuses we've heard about hot tracks and miscommunication aren't acceptable.\xa0
