There is no mention of transformation in the purpose statement of the Act or the targets of the Act. As I've noted, the legislation does say that our goal is to lower emissions, not transformation. The case for transformation must be made. It cannot be assumed. Yet it is being assumed. Transformation is being treated as though it follows directly and automatically from climate change. It does not. National believes that success means delivering on our emissions targets without sacrificing the things that help make life worth living. Success means meeting our responsibilities fully and genuinely while still driving the car we want, still leaving the heater running on a cold day, and still taking that once-in-a-lifetime overseas trip. Success means not having the climate change Minister telling us how to live our lives to cut emissions—because that means failure in every sense.
