Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The Government has announced new legislation to limit the conversion of quality farmland to forestry, but there’s concern the new rules don’t go far enough.

Agriculture and forestry Minister Todd McClay and climate change Minister Simon Watts have announced new rules to limit farm to forestry conversions entering the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), including an annual cap on class 6 land, and a moratorium on classes 1-5.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
