Reference: DCDL-0012393

Description: Cappucino Dreams. In the first of four frames Finance Minister Bill English carrying his briefcase and a load of banknotes labelled 'housing subsidy', explains that he must work here in Wellington even though his home is in Southland. In the second frame his children are shown learning the ways of commerce in the school tuckshop; in the third frame Bill English explains that our experts have been able to postpone climate change until the farmers and carbon burners have made their profits and in the last frame he is shown arriving at his Karori home with the Beehive in the distance and 'Southland' on the gate. Refers to Bill English's embarrassing struggle with his Karori houng subsidy, and to the New Zealand's ETS strategy, a deal that has been stitched up between the National government and the Maori Party without the Labour Party that has resulted in taxpayers subsidizing big business and farmers for the next four years. (until 2013) The deal between the two parties provides that the new emissions trading scheme (ETS) will halve the cost of energy increases to consumers but polluting industries will have an easier ride and longer to adjust through taxpayer subsidies.
