  • Kiri Allan Speech
    1 Agriculture and the Emissions Trading Scheme – how do we enable farmers to respond? Friday 14th September 2018 Speech from Kiri Allan Labour Party Overview of New Zealand’s position • Our Government is committed to supporting global action on climate change. Due to New Zealand’s emissions profile, we are in a unique position to be a global leader on emissions reductions and adaptation in the agricultural sector. • Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called climate change the ‘nuclear free moment of this generation’. • Recent international agreements – the Paris Climate Agreement and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are reflections of the global community’s attitude towards addressing climate change. • We are working to provide the right research, tools, frameworks and policies that will enable enable farmers to reduce their on-farm emissions and switch to more sustainable land-use practices. This work helps to ensure our products have the environmental credentials and status needed to sustainably add value to the sector. • Our belief is that we need to reduce agricultural emissions, while maintaining strong economies and productive and resilient sectors capable of meeting the food demand of an exponentially growing world population. • Another 2.3 billion people will join the global population by 2050, and the increasing food demand means we will need to produce more food in the next 50 years, than in the past 500. • Agriculture contributes to climate change, producing about 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and is heavily effected by climate change with more extreme weather events, unpredictable yields and variable productivity in both crop and livestock sectors.

  • Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister Hon Kris Faafoi Hon Stuart Nash
    Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister Hon Kris Faafoi Hon Stuart Nash Hon Grant Robertson Hon Simon Bridges Hon Paul Goldsmith Hon Todd McClay Parliament Building Wellington, 6160 16 April 2020 Dear Prime Minister, Government Ministers and Opposition Members of Parliament COVID-19 effect on small business leases – call for urgent action to be taken to prevent business closures We refer to our previous letter to each of you dated 2 April 2020. In our letter we wrote: a) calling for urgent action to be taken to prevent business closures; and b) we implored you to address the critical issue of rent relief to all tenants of commercial leases – as many leases do not provide any rent relief. We have had no response from government or the Ministry for Business, Innovation & Employment to our letter and our views do not appear to have been considered in the recent package that was announced yesterday to supposedly assist small to medium-sized businesses. We find this very disappointing. As we said in our letter, we are the peak body representing franchising in NZ. Turnover of the franchising sector represents circa 11% of New Zealand’s GDP. As such franchising is a critical part of the New Zealand economy. And most of the circa 37,000 franchisees in NZ are small businesses – the very people that the government has said need more government support. In our letter we explained to you why rent relief is critical and why we believe urgent action needs to be taken to put cash in the hands of small to medium-sized business owners.
