Environmental groups and unions have said the government’s discussion document on New Zealand’s plan to become net zero by twenty fifty focuses too much on cutting transport emissions and instead letting agriculture and energy emissions off the hook.

The draft plan to make New Zealand net zero by 2050 includes measures to cut down car travelling and boost the number of EVs.

First Union has criticised the plan, saying its energy emission reductions relied too much on closing the Marsden Point oil refinery and it only outsources emissions overseas.  Jared Abbott is the union’s secretary for transport, logistics and manufacturing and he spoke to Justin Wong.
