-Return agricultural ETS revenue to regions/provide double credits to methane reducing activities
-Be more open to or at least about GE R&D
-Consider a different tax mechanism for the Clean Car Discount
-Reconsider the Jobs Guarantee

-Green infrastructure plan:✅
-Agriculture in the ETS:✅, though an idea I might push is to use the revenue to provide additional credits for agricultural emissions reduction
-Clean Car Discount:✅, but the revenue mechanism could be more elegant
-Green Jobs Guarantee:❔, highly highly skeptical

#nzpol Any of you ever heard of the parabole of the blind men and the elephant? I'm considering making a political cartoon about that, but with politicians (or party voters?) as the blindmen and the issue of housing as the elephant.

If we just effectively deducted benefits at the point of paycheck dispersal (through a tax) rather than at the point of benefit dispersal (through a 'phase-out), I'm willing to bet at least half of this problem goes away.

It falls well short of the Ministry of Social Development's target of at least 95% correct payouts.
