26845 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Climate Change: Does the Minister intend to ensure “…that exotic planting on LUC class 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 will not be permitted to enter the ETS [Emissions Trading Scheme] for Carbon Sequestration”, as found on page 38 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if not, why not?

Hon Simon Watts: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio.
