ACT would scrap ‘virtue signalling’ Net Zero target in plan to dismantle climate goals

The ACT Party has announced a policy plan to dismantle New Zealand’s headline climate goals and laws if it comes to power. As part of this proposal, the party would scrap the country's Net Zero target, which it describes as 'virtue signalling.'

Additionally, the planned overhaul includes restoring subsidies of up to 90% for some of New Zealand's largest greenhouse gas emitters. The policy represents a significant rollback of the nation's existing climate change framework.
