Prime Minister under pressure to deliver emissions plan

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 13 June 2023

Pressure is building on the Government to deliver on its industry-based greenhouse gas emissions plan for the farming sector.

Yesterday National said it would delay any emissions scheme for the farming sector - the country's biggest emitter - until 2030, saying the Government's plan being formed in conjunction with industry was dead.

Labour however hasn't given up on the plan to have a farm emissions scheme before 2025... although time is running out to get anything finalised before the election.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins spoke to Corin Dann.
