One after another National speakers in this debate have shown, despite the party's past election slogans promising a better and brighter future, that they just don't get it. They don't get it: that protecting the climate and nature must be our number one priorities if we are to safeguard our wellbeing and our future as a species. They don't even mention the climate. Yet, the launch of Aotearoa's first emissions reduction plan on the Monday of Budget week and the climate focus of Budget 2022 is huge. That emissions reduction plan contains over 300 actions, across nearly every part of Government: 15 different Ministers, with 18 portfolios between them. And it's the $2.9 billion which is coming from climate polluters, through the emissions trading scheme and is being recycled into avoiding and reducing emissions and implementing the suite of actions in that plan, that this Budget is really important for. I'd like to give a big shout-out to all the activists, the scientists, the academics, the councils, the community organisations, the businesses, and the individuals who have given the Government this mandate for change—the zero carbon Act, which set up the independent Climate Change Commission, the whole framework for setting emissions budgets, which have now been done, and then this comprehensive and funded emissions reduction plan.
