ACT’s Renactment
Friday, October 24th, 2008ACT made a dramatic point about its opposition to the Government’s Emissions Trading Scheme today.
It put on a piece of street theatre at Auckland’s Cornwall Park where a “farmer” was whipped by a “witch”.
The farmer was hauling a trailer carrying an oversized $5 billion cheque made out to Russia on behalf of the New Zealand taxpayer.
ACT leader Rodney Hide argued that under the Kyoto Protocol New Zealand money would go to countries such as Russia, which have large forests.
