The
ETS Bill (with it's 750 amendments) was recently pushed through Parliament under urgency. Why, no one knows except Helen Clark and her minions whose main goal in life appears to be to control the masses, increase taxes by any means possible and bury us in paper work.
Of course, if we hadn't signed up for the Kyoto Suicide Pact in the belief that Owl Gore actually knows something about the environment and pushed the Global Warming bullshit (
GAF = Global Alarm Fest), we wouldn't need the
ETS.
Homepaddock reports on the cost of the Emissions Tax Scam
here.
What to do about it."HortNew Zealand say it will cost the sector an extra $40 million a year and Lincoln University says in 2013 it will cost a sheep and beef farmer $36,000 and a dairy farmer $41,000 a year."
The only way I can see myself surviving on my farm, which is already bordering on the negative profit line, is to find a way of minimising the tax as best I can.
In my
PhotoShop Genetic Engineering workshop I've come up with this low emission, low carbon footprint deer. To make use of the spare room at the front, I've added the front feet of a wallaby which will be useful for the deer to manipulate things such as a pen. Giving the deer the ability to use a pen will further cut my costs by allowing the animals to fill out their own Carbon Tax Returns, thus reducing the number of staff required on my small farm to keep up with the paper work.
Of course the downside of low carbon footprint farm animals is the loss of meat production. To get around this I have genetically engineered larger fruit and vegetables, as seen with the example of the large Kiwifruit below.
The downside (there is always a
downside) especially with the Kiwifruit, is the huge steel structures that will have to be built to support the vines.
A vicious circle.

How many thousands of words have been posted about this bloody smacking thing? All about the pros and cons of smacking/disciplining kids.
You are all pissing into the wind and as long as your arse points down you will never convince the ‘other side’ of your point of view.
The ’smacking bill’ has got nothing at all to do with the welfare of the nations children. It’s all about OWNERSHIP …. the government wants to OWN all of you people. Both sides of the fence. And the lefty lickspittles with their frontal lobotomies want to help them.
A bill introduced by an MP that was not voted in, working for a socialist people engineering party that got into power with the barest minimum of votes is controlling how a whole nation can raise their OWN children, it is an absolute disgrace.
I just can’t believe how anyone can support this as an acceptable situation.
If John Key wants to treat us as ballot numbers, as the previous disgusting government did, he’s lost my vote.
Be a good poll for you to do DPF …. “How does John’s attutude affect your view of National?” “Good, Bad or Ugly?”

WebWrat: If John Key wants to treat us as ballot numbers, as the previous disgusting government did, he’s lost my vote.
He had your vote? You must be as stupid as the person who wrote the letter in David’s OP and didn’t know the difference between voting for Labour and ACT. It’s pathetic how all of a sudden people like you get on your moral high horses and think your vote is something that has any value or worth that you can brag about. Key made the compromise with Clark BEFORE the election, yet you still went ahead and voted for him. Therefore it’s your own fault for being such an idiot in the first place dumbass.

You said he lost your vote, implying that he had it in the first place, dumb fuck. Eat your own shit that you failed to wipe off your own ass fool.

Actually I didn’t vote at all.
