Act announces agriculture policy in a bid to win farmer vote

From Midday Report, 12:43 pm on 15 June 2023

The fight to win the farmer vote is well underway, with the ACT Party releasing it's primary industries policy at the Fieldays today.

ACT wants to see methane treated differently to carbon dioxide when reporting emissions.

The policy reiterates the party's promise to scrap the Zero Carbon Act.

And it also ties any emissions price to that of New Zealand's five main trading partners.

Jimmy Ellingham spoke with ACT's primary industries spokesman, Mark Cameron.
