I was in support of them in their early days when genetic engineering was a hot topic along with legalization of cannabis.
If they actually had sensible policies around farming and cars that didnt penalize people, i might give them a second chance.
Im all for conservation, but it needs to be done right.
Even Labour doesnt want to push alot of greens policies to the table.
Carbon farming is the main issue that seriously needs addressing, Labour said they were going to fix holes in the system, but we still see land being sold to IKEA for a carbon farm.
Any land that is converted to carbon sinks should be native forest only, and only land thats not viable for food production.
ACT also has a real good policy where overseas efforts into re-forestation will count to your carbon credits, not just planting pines in NZ. I think from a global scale, this is more beneficial.
In fact I think re-forestation is more important than penalizing farmers.
