Note: Dairy is the major export in NZ. Without it, the economy will crash.
Agriculture would be given a five year window before being required to significantly cut emissions under a Green Party climate plan.
That would remove the Government's "main road block" to action on climate change and ensure farmers did their fair share, the party says.
The plan would also require 100 per cent renewable electricity generation should by 2030, and an immediate tree-planting programme, among other measures.
"Our climate plan shows how, with real leadership and a bit of Kiwi ingenuity, the Government can reduce our emissions by a respectable 40 per cent below 1990 levels," co-leader James Shaw said, at the launch of the 'Yes we can!' climate plan in Wellington today.
New Zealand needed to face-down the "terrifying truth" of climate change, Mr Shaw said, and not take the easy but futile option of "blocking our ears and covering our eyes".
There are two other scandals lurking in the shadows behind the email server itself that need to be fully exposed.
The first is the now confirmed flow of weapons from Libya through the consulate in Benghazi to arm Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. This technically constitutes treason, which is defined as giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. Al Qaeda and ISIS are presented to the American people as our enemies in the war on terror. So why is the US Government giving them weapons?
The other scandal is not proven, but there is considerable circumstantial evidence to support it.
Back when Bill Clinton was running for his second term in the White House, he authorized the transfer of highly sensitive technology to China, drawing huge criticism in what later became known as China-gate. At the same time, large amounts of cash poured into his campaign through Chinese American citizens. Later it was revealed that much of that cash had come from Chinese intelligence agencies!
So with a past history of the Clintons treating US secrets as their own private property, to sell to whom they wished, let us now look at the combination of a private email server, outside US Government control and monitoring, with weak security and no encryption, on which are parked highly classified US secrets, ripe for the picking. Coupled with a "charitable" foundation that has seen many foreign governments make "contributions", we have the perfect set up for Hillary Clinton to have run an espionage operation right out of the US State Department!
