Barry Brill: Will taxpayers be liable for Ardern’s vanity project?

Following my article HERE regarding ex-PM Ardern’s $30 billion donation, the NZ Herald has a story by Thomas Coughlan under the heading of: “Inside Treasury’s fight to keep $23b climate cost off the books”.

Both accounts refer to the Labour Cabinet’s extraordinary 2021 NDC (Nationally-determined Contribution) which promised not only to reduce New Zealand’s emissions by 47 Mt during 2021-2030 but also to buy 143 Mt of foreign carbon credits at the same time.
