Prime Minister Jacinda Arden confirmed at a press conference on Tuesday that her government will push ahead with a proposal to make farmers pay for their livestock’s emissions in a bid to combat climate change.
“This is an important step forward in New Zealand’s transition to a low emissions future and delivers on our promise to price agriculture emissions from 2025,”
“No other country in the world has yet developed a system for pricing and reducing agricultural emissions, so our farmers are set to benefit from being first movers,”
Andrew Hoggard, president of the rural advocacy agency Federated Farmers, said in a statement that the government’s plan will “rip the guts out of small town New Zealand.”
“We didn’t sign up for this. It’s gut-wrenching to think we now have this proposal from government which rips the heart out of the work we did. Out of the families who farm this land,” he said. “Our plan was to keep farmers farming. Now they’ll be selling up so fast you won’t even hear the dogs barking on the back of the ute as they drive off.”

That’s what happens when you elect a communist nutjob broad like Jacinda Arden to be your head of state.
The same left-wing loon who earlier this year, in a speech at Harvard University, urged Americans to give up their guns.
FU, Arden!
I am sure that is true too. Population reduction. They are scum.
Ping
Government only wants power, the continued centralization of that power, more compliance, forced subservience = CHAINS.
And the mechanism for applying those CHAINS are the vast majority of the puppet media who want YOU to believe that those CHAINS are for your safety, the public overall good, etc., etc., etc.
And most can’t even see this or don’t want to openly acknowledge such.
Great points. When CO2 levels were at their highest during the Carboniferous period, plants and animals exploded in variety and size.
She is absolutely a radical Communist nut job, but what of all those who voted for her?
All “progressives” should be taxed. They vote for government crap, and they should pay for it.
Taxing your food is a bad idea.
Will they then turn around and pay farmers for the Oxigen that their crops produce after converting the CO2???
1Timothy 4:3 comes to mind. The NZ Prime Minister wants the s all to look like her.
