NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party Opposes Taxing Farmers For Carbon And Methane EmissionsIt's time we got real as a nation about our carbon emissions. We expect the same here, and Outdoors & Freedom Party will be supporting our farmers when they turn out to protest. The NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party is concerned that family farms will go broke and we’ll lose not just our farmers, but also end up selling even more farm land to overseas interests and corporate farmers. The NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party is alarmed by the impact these proposals will have on our rural communities and farmers already facing compliance costs. The NZ Outdoors and Freedom Party agricultural policy focus is more meaningful; reducing pollution and toxic chemicals than just paying for carbon credits.
