Let's make the Tukituki swimmable again!

The Green Party have launched a campaign to fight for rivers that are clean enough to swim in, not just wade through.  We’ve chosen ten rivers from around the country to visit, and highlight what needs to happen to make all our rivers clean enough to swim in again.

Our MP Catherine Delahunty has already visited the Ruamāhanga, Selwyn, Waitara, Tarawera and Lucas Creek rivers. Her next stop with fellow Green MP Eugenie Sage is the Tukituki.

Catherine and Eugenie are hosting a public meeting at the Matahiwi Marae to talk about national solutions desperately needed to help the local efforts to clean up the awa Tukituki. Please join Catherine, Eugenie and local guests who’ve been working hard to clean up the Tukituki.

New Zealand’s rivers can be clean enough to swim in, but only if the government lift its standards. Communities, tangata whenua, industry and farmers can’t clean rivers on their own. They need the Government to help.
