Video on the way.

I support increased Government investment in transitioning to a zero carbon economy.

I would advocate for strengthening the ETS to make it more equitable and effective.

I believe lignite and currently undeveloped coal reserves should be left in the ground.

I believe renewable energy is our future and Government should plan for 100% renewable energy by 2050.

I support increased national spending on low-carbon and public transport initiatives.

As an elected MP, I would actively engage with my electorate on climate change.

I believe the Government should set a strategic direction for our country to achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Further comments:

Q3 – Labour would stop the lignite mining project in Southland.
Q4 – Yes, but we specifically aim for 90% of our electricity coming from renewables by 2025.
