No paywall - our full Queenstown sewage investigation.
Thanks to our paid subscribers who have funded this work so far.
This is the most significant investigation in the 7 years since Crux was first published. We have made this available to all free subscribers due to the high level of public interest and the need for local government accountability. If you value our work and can afford it please become a paid subscriber.
Our articles are below - free of charge - from the most recent at the top to the first story. Feel free to add your comments below and please share with your family, friends and business network. Local journalism is at risk and depends on your financial support. It is noteworthy that Allied Press (ODT, Mountain Scene etc) is heavily council funded and has not covered this issue in spite of the ORC issuing two abatement notices and six infringements notices since 2021 - but not a single prosecution.
Thank you for all your hard work in keeping rate payers informed.As our council is keeping information we need to know behind closed doors.
Your paper is one of the most courageous in NZ. This information lifts the lid on a Regional Council abandoning its ethics and the public it was meant to serve. It is likely the story of most Councils.
