Mr Ogle told reporters: “There are going to be more Right 2 Water events in the New Year. On the 23rd of January, Right 2 Water will be calling a national day of protest and it will be one of a number of events we will be having in the run-up to the General Election. “We promised when Right 2 Water emerged as a protest, as a campaign about a human right to water, that it would be the number one election issue.”
