Are they serious?
OPINION: The Greens aren’t serious people when it comes to the economy, so let’s not spend too much on their fiscal fantasies.
According to the Hound's source, farmers will be livid to find out how both these supposed farmer co-operatives are actively lobbying the government to ensure that it prices the hell out of biogenic methane - even if it results in a modelled decrease in (sheep and beef) stock units to 1 million/su/year post 2030.
Apparently, both co-ops have already promised their offshore consumers about lower ag emissions from NZ ag.
Pretty sneaky of them asking the government to do their dirty work, but what better way than get the Crown to play bad cop and keep their hands clean with their farmer suppliers and shareholders.
