From Midday Report, 12:47 pm on 14 July 2020

Auckland and Waikato leaders are continuing to iron out the details of an agreement for Auckland to take an extra 75-million litres from the Waikato River each day.

The leaders, including the River Authority, Waikato-Tainui, and the local councils, had been hoping to sign off on the deal yesterday evening. 

But talks continue. 

Phil Goff is Auckland's mayor and he spoke with Māni Dunlop.
