Greens And Nats Engage In Robust Disussion On ETS
Green Cio-leader Russel Norman and National's David Carter - Federated Farmer's 2008 manifesto launch proved fertile
ground for disussing the ETS
*****
This morning Federated Farmers launched their 2008 manifesto in front of assembled media politicians and high quality
fake sheep. At the launch Green Party co-leader Russel Norman and National's Agricuture spokesperson David Carter had a
robust discussion about what exactly national plans to do with the emissiion Tradings Scheme should they become
government.
Current Sgriculture Minister Jim Anderton also proudly brought down a statement showing that he had been a popular
Agriculture Minister. Though Scoop considered the famers would probably be keener for a Government of a slighter bluer
tinge (though probably not one with an Aqua tinge.
Mr Anderton did seem relaxed when asked by Scoop if he was looking forward to working with the Greens – should the
numbers on election day go Labour/ Greens/Progressives way.
Listen to some robust and not so robust discussions on Agriculture
