'My other vehicle is a train'. 10 May, 2008

- Description
Shows a red 'Highcarbonder Turbo' being driven along a road belching out large clouds of gas. The message on the spare wheel that is mounted on the back says 'My other vehicle is a train' and the number plate says 'Labour'. Refers to the problem of offsetting carbon emissions by both the individual and the government. The individual driving the vehicle which is a high carbon emitter tells the world that their other vehicle is the train (Labour has just bought back rail and ferry from Toll Holdings Ltd), thus absolving guilt and offsetting (maybe) their carbon emissions. The Labour Party has the dilemma of sticking to its promise to reduce New Zealand's carbon emissions substantially by introducing the emissions trading scheme but at the same time 2008 is an election year and the cost of living is rising as the economy slows and people want tax breaks.
