David Farrar: Winston on the Paris Agreement

The Herald reported:

Act and NZ First are duking it out over who first came up with the idea of pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Act made the announcement on Tuesday morning. That afternoon Winston Peters claimed on social media that he’d come up with the idea first.

Winston is saying he was first to propose pulling out of Paris? Let’s look at what he has said over time on Paris:

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: We need to think critically about the future of the Paris Agreement

Finally, we have a serious party who has spent time thinking about it - and is now seriously suggesting that New Zealand should pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Now, that was what came from that ACT Party announcement that I told you would be coming today that you needed to keep an eye out for.

ACT says Paris isn't working for New Zealand and it says we should push for the agreement to be reformed - and if it isn't reformed, then we should pull out of it.
