Leaving Paris Agreement would be a dumb move – PM
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says withdrawing from the Paris Agreement on climate change would be “a really dumb move”.
These correspondents all acknowledge some good work was done untangling the red tape.
They're less happy about what the Government's adherence to the Paris Agreement is forcing them to "sneak through" in the form of legislation though.
And now, backed by a government whose stated policy is to tear down the Ardern-Shaw climate policy circus, the Centre for Sustainable Finance has put out their "NZ Taxonomy".
It's all shackled to Paris: The Net Zero Act, He Waka Eke Noa, the Net Zero Banking Alliance, Mandatory Climate Related Disclosures, and National's plan for a Farming Tax.
If they're brave enough, NZ First and ACT could gain a few votes next election by kicking Paris to touch.
