Niki Gladding on being stripped of council committee roles
A Queenstown councillor was stripped of her roles after spilling the beans on confidential plans to invoke emergency powers to pump treated waste water into the Shotover river. Niki Gladding leaked the plan to dump 12,000 cubic metres of treated sewage into the river each day because of problems with the land area where it's previously been pumped. Gladding spoke to Lisa Owen.
