National Party Members Reject ETS
National Party Members Reject ETS
John Boscawen MP, ACT New Zealand
Press Release Tuesday, May 18 2010.
Reports that delegates at
National’s Central North Island Conference this weekend
unanimously passed a remit calling on the Government to
scrap the ETS confirm that the party’s own supporters want
the ETS to be delayed, if not scrapped, ACT Climate Change
Spokesman John Boscawen said today.
"The unanimous vote shows that National Party members have realised what the Government is yet to realise, that it is environmentally pointless and economically reckless to proceed with the ETS," Mr Boscawen said.
"I too call on Prime Minister John Key and Dr Nick Smith to delay, if not scrap, the ETS. In the mean time, any National Party members who are fed up with being ignored by the hierarchy of their own party on this issue are welcome to join ACT," Mr Boscawen said.
