National Party pleased with climate policies dropped in government reset

From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 14 March 2023

National Party deputy leader Nicola Willis is pleased to see the government's climate policies dropped in its latest spending reprioritisation.

Willis said the policies were not efficient enough, and governments need to be careful when implementing emissions reductions to ensure the economy is able to remain strong.

She said her party's preference was to focus on electrifying New Zealand's power supply and removing regulatory barriers for building solar and wind farms would help that.
