Cry me a river

Environment Minister Trevor Mallard last week promised to make all rivers clean enough to swim in within a generation.

What isn't clear is which party he expected to win the next five elections in order to deliver on this promise.

Based on their environmental scorecard for the last 8 years, (I'm speaking of actions not rhetoric) it doubt it would be Labour.

There's obviously some inside knowledge here that points to a conspiracy of massive proportions. Unless they are relying on retrospective legislation, I'd be interested to see how other parties plan on matching this promise.
