Description: Leader of the Labour Party, Phil Goff, smiles and says 'No worries!.. We'll clobber farmers with the Emissions Trading Scheme!!' One of two farmers behind him mutters 'Why doesn't someone put a cap on his emissions?' Context - A tax credit paid at a rate of 12.5 per cent to reward investment in research and development would be paid for by farmers picking up the $800 million cost of their greenhouse gas emissions over five years, instead of by taxpayers. Labour leader Phil Goff announced the plan yesterday, hoping to capitalise on complaints of a lacklustre Budget last week by trumping National with a policy he said could create up to $22 billion a year in new business.
