FART TAX. 27 November 2009

- Description
Against a blazing sun and a parched landscape three members of the Federated Farmers stand staring glumly at a tractor representing 'Fart tax' that lies rusting in a field of grass. A poster that reads 'Thieving tax hungry socialist government' leans against the tractor. One of the farmers holds a newspaper with a headline reading 'E.T.S. coming' and another wistfully remembers the 'good old days'. Refers to the resistance of the Federated Farmers to the notion that farmers as the producers of half of New Zealand's emissions should be liable to a good share of taxation to pay for them in New Zealand's ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme).
