If the Government wanted to do something tangible, it wouldn't just tell civil servants to carbon zero; it would take ACT's recommendation to amend Parliament's sitting hours. Stop flying MPs all over the country, wherever they like, whenever they like, because MPs are the only people in the world with an unlimited travel budget to fly anywhere they like, whenever they want, on the taxpayer. No business would accept its staff jumping on a plane on a whim—no business in New Zealand would. ACT believes that politicians should lead by example when it comes to climate change. So ACT proposes to change the parliamentary calendar. Currently MPs sit three days a week for 30 weeks a year. We could sit for four days a week—imagine that—for 23 weeks a year. That would reduce the number of flights taken by MPs and carbon emissions by around 25 percent, and it would not only reduce emissions; it would save taxpayer money.
