Taxing our farmers to subsidise overseas farmers!

Stuff reports:

New Zealand pledged to spend $375 million reducing greenhouse emissions and protecting communities in vulnerable countries. 

But according to official documents reviewed by Stuff, some of that cash promoted planet-heating dairy and meat farming. …

A Fiji project aiming to “create a sustainable domestic milk supply” received NZ$2.4m of climate finance over four years, according to official documents. Another project in Myanmar planned to “establish an inclusive, vibrant and sustainable dairy sector”.

Aid to Sri Lanka intended to grow the country’s dairy production.

So the official position of the Government is that dairy production in New Zealand is bad and needs to reduce, and that it will take the revenue from taxing emissions in New Zealand and spend them on increasing dairy production in other countries!
