I hear the Greens are unhappy with James

The Herald reports:

The Government moved quickly today to dismiss criticisms that its plans to make New Zealand’s rural sector greener was a backdown from a key election promise.
Instead, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Climate Change Minister James Shaw and a host of farming and agricultural sector leaders today talked up the importance of the new scheme and the “world-first” Government-industry partnership.
Instead of taxing farmers on emissions between 2020 and 2025 – the Government has instead opted to work with the agricultural sector to manage and mitigate on-farm emissions through the He Waka Eke Noa programme

I’m hearing there is a significant group within the Greens who are very unhappy with agriculture being exempted from the ETS until 2025, and possibly forever.

They’re also unhappy the Greens are supporting the anti-terrorist legislation, and the foreign land sales Green Ministers have okayed.

The target of their anger is co-leader James Shaw. It is not impossible he will face a leadership challenge – not necessarily from another MP.

It will be interesting times.
