Craig Williamson: Surf, Sewage & Straight Talk( 0:35:1)       
Episode Information
This is a kōrero that moves easily from summer surf stoke to the big decisions shaping Taranaki. Join us as Taryn sits down with Craig Williamson, Chair of the Taranaki Regional Council, for a chat that’s equal parts salty sea spray and policy punch. They kick off with summer surf stories — including the seriously impressive season had by Craig’s daughter, Izaro Williamson Sasia — and what the waves have been doing around Taranaki lately. Then it’s straight into the good stuff: wastewater treatment, local government reform, and what’s brewing with the RMA. It’s fun, feisty, and proof that you can talk surf, systems, and the future of our region all in the same breath.
