- Climate Change Minister Simon Watts joins Q+A to discuss emissions, agriculture, and whether New Zealand will meet its climate targets.
It comes as the Government releases its draft Emissions Reduction Plan. It shows New Zealand's goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 appears to be at risk without more policy changes. The plan also emphasises the role of tree planting and emerging technology to offset emissions.
Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
I must admit National has greatly reduced my carbon emissions considerably, being part of the workforce that has been laid off 6 months ago to achieve cost cutting requirements my car use has gone from 6 or 7 days a week down to normally 1 day a week when I do my weekly grocery shopping, some weeks I do 1 more trip if I get a job interview or have to go to WINZ for an interview. These are now the only times I use my car as I can't afford the petrol to visit family or friends anymore. Thank you National for reducing my carbon emissions & job prospects for the foreseeable future & at 63 years old most likely permanently.
Two more years and you can get back on the taxpayers tit then
What occupation were you in to become unemployed.
My employer has guys in their 70s working for him because they're reliable and good at their job...
Would be nice to know why you blame others for your own demise?
@@peterlattimore6013 Presumably because legislation the new government introduced either directly caused the job loss or was a contributing factor?
@@grantchin1526 obviously a back room bureaucrat, because everyone who's got a productive job has still got one.
@@peterlattimore6013 Made machines for sorting & packing for small fruit. Company shut down to move production to China & Slovakia by Norwegian owners to reduce production costs to increase shareholder payouts from 5% on investment to 8%. Unlikely to be re-employed due to lung damage from stainless dust damage leaving me with 65% age adjusted lung function so can't do labouring any more.
Don't want to work after 65 as those jobs should be going to people in their 20's & 30's who are starting or have families, not people that have raised their families.
I worked my life so I could live my retirement & have no intention to change that.
Its so clear that Luxon and co just threw this guy in this office. He only seems to have surface level understanding, and keeps referring to Ministers McClay, Brown and Willis about the big questions. As if he has no authority on climate policy.
It kinda just shows how little the coalition govt believe in climate change as an issue. Ugh
its isnt an issue
what climate change is that then?
Our tech exports are bigger than meat and Judith Collins recently said they could overtake dairy exports within ten years - why won't this government invest in the sector instead of flogging off our land to foreign farmers with the promise of relaxed environment regulations and cheap labour?
Reference please.
I'd take a NZ beef farmer over a new Snapchat, tiktok, or Instagram mogul
@@overover..most "tech" is not social media - tech includes health tech, commerce, agri tech, carbon emissions etc, all of which are globally important. Tech exports from NZ are already worth $10B to our economy, tied with Meat exports for our 3rd most valuable export industry, and worth $1B more than forestry. So your NZ beef farmer is no more valuable to our economy than a tech "mogul'. Agriculture and tourism are our two biggest export earners at present, but I would argue that neither is sustainable. Tech should be our main focus for growing our economy.
@jessedykstra4005 Fair enough, good comment.
Although the idea that the quality of food we eat has to decrease to sustain the earth's population increase is depressing.
@@overover.. Not if you reduce your beef and dairy intake. Substitute them for non-dairy alternatives and chicken perhaps. Chicken has a significantly lower carbon and methane impact than beef and uses up far less land and essential resources.
What is even worse is that the government is no longer ring-fencing ETS revenue for climate change projects. I.e. it goes into the consolidated slush fund. This is appalling.
oh shut up, you woke musk fanboi.
When "climate change projects" in NZ simply means treaty consultants and beating up on farmers... I'm happy for that money to go back into the pool
@@overover.. - The biggest leaches are the rich and corporates that don't pay their way, their accountants make sure of that.
Our farmers, there are some good ones but the rest, pitiful excuses. Listened to one farmer on TV news with his excuses. He sounded like he must have taken a page out of a Boeing manual.
The only reason NZ used to be so called clean and green is because we haven't been here long enough to completely 'f' it, but we are trying.
@@henkmagnetic3103 There are some good ones? Wow, what a knob
the ETS is a ponzie scheme,would you pay into it,and does nothing
Minister for Climate No Change
Minister for accelerated climate change*
@@CUZZABRO - True, and it's all bad. Clean & Green NZ, yeah right. 100% progress.
Hugely frustrated that all the efforts of this government are to maintain the current model of agriculture, especially dairy. No thinking around greater diversification and increases in horticulture. We import 75% of our grain, most goes to feeding stock and our phosphate imports are causing cadmium poisoning of our soils. Our current account deficit is partly fuelled by the fertiliser, supplementary feed, fossil fuel and machinery imported to support agriculture. A high percentage of our exported milk powder, is going to support unhealthy food products in Chinese fast food outlets.
Rather than maintaining the status quo and putting faith in science and technology developments that don't yet exist, why don't we explore different agriculture models and export possibilities?
Did you just wake up one morning and make this b...sh.. up
@@craigbaird8198 it doesn't take much to see the evidence, you're already on the computer, so you can easily see for yourself - unless it doesn't suit your existing prejudices?
New Zealand is the world's only major purchaser of phosphate from Western Sahara, where mineral revenues are driving a war against the native population. This phosphate is called "Blood Phosphate' due to the number of people displaced, arrested & killed by the country at the bidding of the mining companies to get the last of the phosphate from the soil. The economy of Banaba and Nauru has been almost wholly dependent on phosphate, which has led to environmental disaster on these islands, with 80% of the islands’ surface having been strip-mined. And yes this addiction to phosphate is causing cadmium poisoning on farm lands & air poisoning around the NZ factories processing it.
@@craigbaird8198 No they watch documentaries & did research.
@@pwollerman your asking way too much, Craig is clearly not a thinker!
Jesus this is our climate change Minister? I literally see that he has no drive in this role which is very serious role.
Also great interview jack as always.
Obviously Jesus already knows this is our climate change minister, so what's your point?
He's crap
@@stephenking4170 He may have the title of "Climate Change Minister" but that doesn't mean he he is anything but a token figure head and really this guy is the Minister of "Fudge the issue and do as little as possible" to keep the bosses /donors happy.
what climate change? are sea levels rising like they said they would 30 years ago??NO!!
Seriously, NZ doesn’t have to do s… for emission reduction. It was a foolish task in the first.
And reducing beef and sheep is suicide.
I’m returning home as it’s really the only safe country in the world if idiots keep listening to the globalists and UN who are trying to make a situation ask they say “You will known nothing and you will be happy”
Why is Jack more prepared than the Minister? 😱
Why is he always more prepared than most ministers? We are so let down
Because Jack’s good at his job.
@@johngillanders9694 not always,cause hes a socialist/commie
Good interview Jack, keep holding this government to account. Their 'plans' continue to not add up.
Each week people complain about Jack Tame's interviewing. That's their prerogative. Personally, I am in favour of an interviewer asking pertinent questions to help inform my view.
A minister simply needs to answer the questions asked to avoid being interrupted by Jack Tame, otherwise all we are getting is 'political talking points'. If i wanted a party political broadcast I would go to a town hall meeting, visit the many channels on TH-cam that promote a particular agenda, or visit the political party web sites.
A role of our 'fourth estate' is to hold our politicians accountable. My view is that Q n A does this regardless of political affiliation.
It is hilarious listening to him trying to justify stupid policy 😂 Says all we need to know when he says he comes from a farming background. This govt paid for by industry ☠️
❤ the time has come, for us to ask - not what our planet can do for us - but what we can do for our planet ❤
This government is disappointing each and every day. Not disappointing for their donors though.
Not disappointing to me. Putting the economy first instead of making us all suffer for no actual change to the climate
@@vinipizExactly.
@@vinipizthat would require policies that actually benefit the economy, so far they've mostly been negatively impacting but virtue signalling to people who don't question politicians so there's a bunch of people who think that policies that actually harm the economy long term are good
@@vinipiz Climate change deniers could once be understood but now the evidence is so overwhelming those who still deny it are the human equivalent of the Ostrich with their tiny brains buried in the sand so they don't have to see the reality of any threats.
@@licrissbut they have changed the previous govts plan to one which is easier on farmers. Farmers are one of the main parts of our economy. This is a policy towards the economy as opposed to putting climate change at the front?
Good interview jack, young people are going to pay the costs, a high price in the future when our economy will be underpin by different factors. If only back in 2024 they could have recognised, protected and fostered what was truly important.
when someone can show me the ppm tipping point in CO2 i may give a snot, except that we are dangerously close to plant die off levels and no one seems to want to mention that.
Go ask a biologist what level of co2 plants NEED to stay alive and where we are at.
You need to know the CO2 toxicity level for all plants? The pre-industrial average was between 240ppm and 280ppm, for the last 800,000 years.
The fact is that CO2 is opaque to infrared radiation even in minute quantities, and it traps reflected heat so the planet heats up - that's the problem, it's nothing to do with the plant requirements - I'll give a snot when you can tell us what is the maximum temperature plants need to survive at?
You are on point with this comment, I so agree
Given a lot of MPs in this Govt are privately actual climate change deniers expect more of this bland fudging rhetoric with no real hard effort to do anything of real substance.
That’s a plus correct. The weather is no worse than it was when I was a kid. And you are nuts if you think it is.
The climate has always changed. Just no actual long term evidence that’s it can be changed by humans
Wow savage take down no bullshit allowed here sorry, I love Jack.
As a New Zealander I call for an end to all climate related objectives. I do not consent to my government interfering with the supply of food and those who grow it. This scam needs to end.
As a New Zealander I call for an end to all non-negative or net-zero carbon emission policies that are not in line with the recommendations of the Climate Change Commission. I do not consent to my government subsidizing the agriculture industry by not making them pay for their emissions, when we (a country of ~5M people) produce enough food to feed >20M people. This amounts to us citizens of NZ sacrificing our environment (clean surface and ground water, industrial agriculture pollutants etc) now to sustain a failing industry that can't stand on it's own merit. This scam needs to end. Now.
@@jessedykstra4005When you talk about "emissions " do you CO2? You realize that's what plants and animals are made of right?
Great Interview.
I think the whole segment is worth watching, Tame really lets loose with his wrap up at the end
Quote “ It’s 2024. Last year was the hottest year on record, climate scientists say this year is likely to be even hotter. Your government has scrapped the ban on oil and gas exploration.
You’ve tanked the electrical vehicle market overnight.
You’ve delayed emissions pricing yet again for our biggest emitting industry.
You’ve taken money from the climate fund , to give us tax cuts.
Your plan fails to get us to our 2035, OR 2050 targets.
And despite your promises to save us money, it’s 0.01 percent cheaper for households. [Than Labour's more detailed plan to hit targets)
Why should anyone believe you are serious about climate change?”
What a load of sh.t. I went back to NZ this summer first time in 14 years and you were all saying it was too hot and it wasn’t. It was no worse than when I was a kid if not cooler.
NZers are just believing the bs you’ve been feed since 1990
Climate change tax would be best helping each family/ citizen make their homes energy efficient/harvest Drinkwater or all water...becoming self sufficient. But you can simply not have the slaves be that way. It's a total joke / money laundering farce to make the rich richer. Wake up normies
The Minister of Environment said, 'agriculture is the backbone of the NZ's economy' which is one of the factors why the country has a 'low financial return export economy and a large deficit in the country's balance of payments.
Neoliberal economic policies and the effects of a warming planet are not compatible as a warming planet will always be the winner regardless what this government says and does. Be prepared for higher insurance premiums or no insurance due to increasing unpredictable weather patterns.
So what did the previous Labour administration do about that? It's not like the new government can magic an entirely new industry sector overnight
@@danielphillips4399 - For the last 38 years, the country is addicted to 'for profit at least cost' neoliberal economics and governance by successive governments with a a small group of finacial, business and political elite do not want any changes to the 'here and now'.
Fabulous interview preparedness and engagement from Jack Tame-really appreciate your data-driven preparedness and great questions.
If we don’t reduce our dairy and forestry then we will just be chasing our tail’s we’re emissions are concerned.
Yeah good idea. Stop the economy…great solution
Just to be clear, significant challenge, committed to targets, to be clear, significantly targeted challenges
Dubai reached a "feels like" temperature of 62ºC (144°F) 3 days ago. Climate change is the biggest existential threat to humanity and this Luxon led govt are complicit in increasing that threat.
Go speak to china…we contribute a minuscule amount
Instead of blindly believing the fear propaganda about a boiling planet, why not do some actual research into Milankovich cycles and the geological history of the Earth.
Climate change is great for humanity and has been taking place throughout history.
@@bitsnz1837 Hi, I have a PhD in Geology, a Masters in Earth & Environmental Science, and have been following climate science for over 20 years. I assure you that you are the one who needs to "do some actual research" into climate science (and indeed earth cycles in general, including Milankovich cycles). I suggest starting with a basic earth systems textbook or two - there are plenty of good ones out there, take your pick. Get one out from the library, nothing beats reading an actual book on a subject. Once you've done that (and only if you're actually open to understanding science), you'll understand why your final sentence is so blatantly ill informed. Don't ask me to explain it, you need to work it out for yourself.
And life in Dubai went on.
We're now missing our targets! Simon Watts you're a disgrace.
Screw the targets look after our own country, which doesn’t have an emission problem.
Now if India and China change, the world will have reduced the little damage that man is doing.
@@Damudean If we miss the targets we're on the hook for billions of dollars under the Paris agreement.
@@CUZZABRO so we should destroy ourselves because some f…wit made an idiotic agreement that should never have been made.
And ve should follow like good little nobs.
NZ is one of the very few countries that can actually feed itself without international help.
And why should countries that make almost no difference in emissions be made to loss when the countries that make the difference are not even going to try.
It’s a joke and NZers are become a joke. For how easy we bend over and take it up the …..
The government - current and previous are the countries largest farmers - state owned landcorp, over 140 farms and 75,000 dairy cows. You reckon that might be the reason our largest polluters responsible for nearly half of all emissions have been exempt from contributing to the ETS since 2008? Landcorp is a massive conflict of interest
And who own’s land corp,how many overseas interest are involved with them.
Landcorp is a State-owned Enterprise
Jack. You’re basing this interview on dated science and the labour agenda.
Why don’t you interview someone like Craig Stovo or the many others that are leading the way.
It's okay guys, by 2050 we'll magically be net zero
Completely ludicrous goal
Tanked the ev market over night. True.
Wow 400.000000 thats alot of money going into there bank accounts no wonder the priminister has 3 free hold homes and his grandmother in state housing..this is insane.
What's a crisis? Is it CO2 levels, or is it drowning in plastic packaging and other waste? Which gets nearly all the media attention? Which will kill the environment faster? CO2 or methane (that is largely beyond our control, except in the case of Nordstream) levels or poisoned water and land? The fact is that 'emissions' from cities (including human waste) is a far greater threat to the majority of people, and yet Jack wants to talk about cattle. Hot air all round.
New Zealand is one of the world's top emitters of methane per capita. It's mostly from agriculture.
@bernardpullon4632, I’m totally with you! The idea that we can control the climate seems pretty out there when you look at the evidence. Here are some key points on heatwaves and climate change:
Heatwaves Today vs. 20th Century: Data shows that heatwaves are less severe and less frequent now compared to the early 20th century, especially the 1930s.
Historical Temperature Records: Most states set their all-time high temperature records in the first half of the 1900s, particularly around the 1930s.
Modern Temperature Data: NOAA’s nationwide temperature network, which started in 2005, shows no sustained increase in daily high temperatures over nearly 20 years.
Warming Trends: Recent warming mostly happens during winter, at night, and near the poles.
Natural Heatwave Occurrence: Heatwaves are a natural part of the US climate, especially in regions like the humid South and the hot deserts of the Southwest.
1930s Heatwave Spike: The 1930s saw a significant spike in heatwaves, but recent heatwave frequency and intensity are within normal ranges.
Record Temperatures: More than half of US states set their all-time high temperature records in the 1930s. More records were set between 1900-1920 than between 2000-2020, despite cooler global temperatures back then.
Regarding methane:
Methane's Minor Impact: Methane’s effect on global warming is much smaller compared to CO2, even though it's often highlighted in climate discussions.
Natural Methane Sources: Methane comes from natural sources like cattle, termites, and rice paddies. It's been part of our ecosystem for centuries.
Regulation Effects: Stringent methane regulations would have a minimal impact on global temperatures, making them seem disproportionate to their actual effect.
In summary, the focus on regulating CO2 and methane might not be as impactful as addressing other environmental issues. The role of natural factors like solar and volcanic activity in climate change is often downplayed, leading to an overemphasis on human impacts.
" The fact is that 'emissions' from cities (including human waste) is a far greater threat to the majority of people"
Got anything to back that up?
@@jessedykstra4005 Ah, human waste-the unwelcome guest that never leaves the party. While water vapor is the main act in the greenhouse gas show and CO2 is the veteran rocker with millions of years of hits, human waste is the backstage roadie making a mess of everything.
Sure, CO2 has been on a roller coaster ride, swinging wildly over the last 600 million years with average levels at 2,600 ppm compared to today’s modest 400 ppm. It’s just part of Earth’s natural jam session. Meanwhile, methane is the flashy star with a higher radiative forcing effect but makes only a cameo appearance, contributing just a tenth of CO2’s impact. Regulations keep this diva in check, especially since our waste is busy belching methane from landfills and sewage plants.
But the real villain? Toxic waste. Heavy metals, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and household hazards are the rogues wrecking our cities. Good waste management can be our superhero, reducing pollution, curbing disease, and making life better.
And who gains the most for over fishing to much forestry to much diary? the Chinese and other Asian countries and what do we get left with, we’ll all the pollution and the problems that go with it.
I don't think your logic holds up there, Jack. The EV chargers are for the benefit of those who have already got the discount, yet 80% of them charge at home?
They're more likely to benefit the new buyers with range anxiety, in my humble opinion 😅
That's the point he was making. The CoC stopped the discount scheme that resulted in 20% of sales being EVs to Prime Ministers and their wives who couldn't have afforded to overlook their entitlement, and made out that their promise to provide chargers around the country would make up for it.
Jack asked why, if 80% say they usually charge at home - therefore why would that much a difference comparable to the CCD?
@@pwollermanif EVs were as good as they say they are why do they need a subsidy? It is also subsidising the wealthy
@@danielphillips4399 Not all EVs are expensive Teslas owned by rich politicians. Some are second hand Nissan Leafs owned by people with Community Service cards.
And the advanced economies of the world will just move on while NZ remains stuck in the past, the old no 8 wire, if it ain't broke it dont need fixing mentality. Time to diversify
NZ is 0.8% of the worlds total CO2 emmissions. A basic fact is we need electricity to reduce emmissions. Labour and the greens cut the options of generating electricity first, now we have limited options. Arse about face. Oh and Jack needs to join his left wing, woke, agenda driven mates already kicked of TV, take that breakfast and news at 6 lot with him, and what ever that crap show is at 7 pm as well. An interview is only an interview based on questions and answers. If you cant give answers it becomes a directed, political agenda, lecturing session.
I dont think Simon Watts has actually talks to any real EV drivers, there is no range anxiety, New Zealand EVs are generally charged in peoples drive ways 90% of the time, EV drivers only think about range on roadies, and that's just to plan stops in the optimal place with a loo and good coffee. Did 2000 ks around the top of the South Island East coast to west amd back to Christchurch- no charging issues at all. On the other hand there is nothing worse than getting in the old chugger and worrying about where and when to stop for gas because it doesnt start every day with the full tank.
Deny....evade..obfuscate. NZ govt isnt interested in lowering its fossilized position. Look at Norway!!
Be great if Tame would let him answer the questions. Not a good interviewer. Imagine taxing farmers because cows fart. This nonsense needs to end.
with such high salaries howcome these politicians cant get good haircuts ..
Battery Electric Vehicles don't need subsidise. But it is time for Government to drop subsidise for internal combustion engine vehicles and combustible fuels. There is no range anxiety and charging machine issues that you pay for. Whether you drive BEV or ICE vehicle you plan your trip so you can get to where you are going. I bought a used Leaf from a dealer who had registered the car and use it for 3 months before selling the car to me. Therefore he had pocketed $3.5k
Bad interview. Jack's fault, tried to do gotcha's like 10:33, Jack position is basically: NZ should not do r&d
Can someone tell him how to pronounce New Zealand before he goes.
He plays gotcha interviewing. This whole climate crisis is a bloody sham, imagine what we all could achieve if we weren’t focused on this nonsense
Be great if we could listen to the minister not the constant interruption by Tane trying his gotcha attitude,Wish there was a quick mute button when Tane talks so at least I could hear the Minister.wish we had intelligent interviews that draw out what the Govt intends to do
Yeah why does he do that when Watts goes off topic instead of answering the question?
Another great interview by Jack Tame. About time someone held these question dodgers to actually answer a question
Can Jack shut it. He’s just a hit piece yabber. It’s vile
Why not just be a country that only cares about its OWN people.
We clean we green. Stuff the world we don't need to lead or show or do anything but TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE
Its Lower emissions or an economy. We cant have both
Stop this bs..we all no your jist getting rich off this nonsence.
Ps, 80% of our economy is not from agri. Talk about pulling figures from thin air
Yeah he is totally deluded - no wonder they made him minister of Climate Obfuscation in Favour of Farming.
He said export economy which is important for balancing our trade.
“Food and fibre exports made up 81.4 percent of New Zealand's total exports in the year to 30 June 2022,” Damien O'Connor said.19 Aug 2022

What a shame we have media attitudes like this. We identifyed eary our impact on global climate change is small. Why are we not focusing ou how we can take advantage of our already green position to boost exports to contries that will struggle to make change and have a far greater global impact. We all win in that outcome. But no we will argue about the change we want to make with the money we dont have, sacrifice our talent and opportunity with infighting in silos. Have we lost our ambition to be a world leader for our own virtue signalling? The problem and opportunity is far bigger than the "debate" in this video.
New Zealand knows better than the rest of the OECD. That's why we don't have a cap gains tax either. We're all smarter.

Yeah fuck man we just got ignored with our Nuclear Free Policy, it's not like the French saw fit to blow up protest boats or anything. Last thing we need is to lead the world. Jesus.
Except in rugby of course. That's acceptable aye.

32 minutes of my life listening too this muppet
Yip. Jack needs to look at the situ vacant.
This minister has no idea how to reduce the methane emissions from dairy farming i havnt known of anyone that has around the globe otherwise all farmers would be making the changes
It’s very easy to crow from the sidelines
Very easy not to cut large numbers of climate policies too - and yet this Government has done just that.
Give them a decent chance they haven’t even been in for one year yet,Labour had six year’s and just made everything worse.
Lower borrowing than the National Party, maintained GDP growth through the pandemic, kept businesses afloat with wage subsidies, built more houses than any government for decades, etc etc.
These guys come in, ignore the warnings from Standard and Poors, tank the economy and then blame Labour.
They've had six years to get better and all they did was reverse anything progressive that Labour set in place for long-term benefit.
That includes the new rail ferries and realistic climate targets for agriculture.
We voted in greedy imbeciles to replace them, now we see what they were hiding.
@@pwollermanlower borrowing? The Labour government borrowed and spent 60 billion dollars of new money during 2020 - 2022 alone. The new current government has inherited this economy which was in a recession and which deteriorated more than was initially forecast and core crown revenue fell short 28 billion than expected. Clearly that was due to the incompetence and mismanagement of the previous administration. When you are running deficit budgets and situation inherited under the previous administration i.e. when revenue is less than outgoings, you have to fill the void with borrowing or selling off assets. So this government is filling the void with borrowing.
@@danielphillips4399 And how much did the national party just borrow to fund tax cuts? $14b?? it was only bettered by labour in 2020 when they borrowed to keep businesses afloat... The lies the right keep saying about how the left ruin the economy has been proven untrue time and time again. just do some research
@@danielphillips4399 The only year they borrowed more than this mob was the first year of Covid when they kept the economy afloat while in The UK and US people were burying their grandparents we lived in a prosperous bubble.
Few people appreciate that.
Nicky borrowed for tax cuts despite advice from the main ratings agency while also reducing the tax base.
The recession was predicted as was the current drop in interest rates.
Give credit where it’s due not just when it suits you.

@@pwollerman yes, that's the way of it, Earth is a biosphere where amazingly life has been started, and I've never understood why humans live like they do, they're so destructive, don't they value the life they've been granted and the other amazing lifeforms we share Mother Earth with? Unless the human species comes to its senses and starts living sensibly, you know that we have it in us to do so, but humans continue to live in ignorance. Thank you for speaking your truth ❤️
net zero what a con
We don't care if the world burns, why should you?
No one can enforce me to do any thing any omre
have fun in jail mate
I just wont to go out off here
My question is why NZ made such a stupid target, when NZ co2 is nothing compared to the rest.
And who give any one to use my mony for edan park to do up
Que below the Climate Change Hysteria
Standard range Tesla is about 500k who the crap travels that far in a normal week.
What if you are driving across country?
@@danielphillips4399 it's 1000k from cape reinga to wellington I don't know anyone that doesnt take a 30min break or more on a journey like that more than enough time to charge up an ev.
Lol just checked the fastcharger network in New Zealand seems there's nothing outside of Auckland. Better use your gas guzzlers for cross country travel.
Seems the Nat's are lying they have no intention of meeting these emissions reduction targets.
Relax everyone the whole carbon thing is a scam, it's great to see this guy paying lip service to the nonsense.
Jack Tame. Lead singer of the Muppets. Load of Kaka out his mouth
Your bias shines through. Many great questions but your belligerence embarrasses you. Time for a style change.
Just stop eating animal products. Problem solved
How??
@@tc6817 reduce animals being produced for food, reduce emissions. pretty simple math
lol....
More childish idiocy from Q and A. The minister is correct , the economy comes first.
Missing our emissions targets is orders of magnitude more costly to the economy. Not meeting our Paris 2015 targets will cost us billions. The extreme weather events coming our way will cost even more.
Rubbish - it's our need for growth that is leveraged on cheap energy that is the root of the problem. We need to decarbonise and move to electricity as quickly as possible - but these guys just focus on short-term profits and doing their sponsor's bidding.
They don't care about anything else, obviously.
There is no economy without an environment. Period.
Do you understand that economic matters will be hugely effected by international relations? People who benifit from 100 years ago money need to stop making decisions for the most of us! Why? Because they are not smart or fooling anyone! Landlord support and now agriculture support while save save save and trying to drill. Get those Neanderthal ways out of here mate! No one wants to be like England
Jack, I paid for my EV. I find your insistence on pushing your own agenda annoying and distracting.
I guess you are paid on the number of gotcha’s you can create.
Just be a journalist and if you cannot handle that go look for a shock-jock job.
Did you get the Clean Car Discount?
@@pwollerman no.
But the fact that I did not have to pay road user charges was cool.
Now the economical benefits that I was looking for are a lot less. But that is how it goes. I still benefit from owning the car. Use it nearly 97% of the time.
I would have taken the subsidy if it was available when I bought the car.
But I never thought giving tax money to wealthy people was a good idea when there are so many people with real needs.
Jack Tame happens to be Political Journalist of the Year at the 2024 Voyager Media Awards, so he is unlikely to go anywhere else anytime soon.
@@grantchin1526 that says everything…!
Paris targets can go to Hell this NZ not Paris
I won't watch this purely because I don't like the interviewer.
Yeah, I wouldn't even tune in on a Sunday if I knew he was going to be host. Oh, wait ...
So you don't like accountability then?
Maybe you would be happier sticking to Mike Hosking...
Bye
Better to be realistic about the climate goals, rather than pouring money into something that is unachievable. We could also resort to the greens/labours solution; create another tax that’s going to reduce earths temperatures 😂
Almost unwatchable. Jack badgers, interrupts and pushes his own agenda. Time to go back to journalism school Jack
Who would be better - Mike Hosking is very neutral?
@@pwollerman it's doesn't matter who. The interviewing technique is what matters.
He interrupts and pushes because the minister is failing to answer his simple questions… it’s called holding the government to account…
@@alexrees7652 he does it to everyone. It's his style regardless of the guest. It's not journalism
@jamesmartin4500 I agree. Jack wouldn't get away with his arrogant interviewing approach with Winston or David Seymour.
Mr Gotcha. Jack you have made up your mind and you are controlling the ministers narrative by butting in all the time not allowing him to explain fully. Very disrespectful. Yes ask challenging questions but let the man speak.
He's letting him speak he's just stopping him from going on a journey off topic to get to the answer.
@@Benjamin-v3kNot even close but we can agree to differ. I want to hear what the guy has to say not just hear Jacks questions that he already has the answer for.
Don`t watch lefty , woke , interupting Tame any more
What does woke mean, champ?
Bye
Jack, you need head out to south east Asia.
Why would he need to do that? It's new Zealand issues not Asia issues
@@Benjamin-v3kclimate change is New Zealand issue? I don’t think so.
Nothing we do will change anything
@@vinipiz Ok ostrich stick your head in the sand.
I could not give a damn about the emissions targets..
You'll give a damn when we have to pay billions for missing them in 2030.
