		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;She wants polluting industries, high carbon economics and pollution, and green images for tourism. there is a fundamental contradiction going on here.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Mainly in that in a few short years there wont be a tourism industry, so the tourism image wont be important any longer.</description>

		<description>No more than any other party.  The Greens also offer us our cake for having and eating too.

The cost of reducing carbon emissions is (according to the Greens rhetoric)going to be carried by &quot;major carbon polluters&quot;, whilst the &quot;Kiwi Consumer&quot; is going to be unaffected.  Never to mind that Kiwi &quot;major carbon polluters&quot; are some of the more efficient users of carbon per unit of production and the average &quot;Kiwi Consumer&quot; has a near planet topping carbon footprint.  The Greens promise that by punishing the efficient and protecting the inefficient AGW will be stopped.  

For instance the Greens are demanding a reduction of emissions from NZ dairy herd and a greater availability of dairy produce to consumers.</description>

		<description>Confused?

Nope. 

Whatever Labour says is a load of old rubbish. If you hadn&#039;t figured that one out by now you must be frequently confused.</description>

		<description>Helen Clark, wants the sustainability image, and the coal, steel, diary, cement etc money.

She wants polluting industries, high carbon economics and pollution, and green images for tourism. there is a fundamental contradiction going on here.

One that Jeanette pointed out in parliament very recently.

Kick the Carbon Habit.... Why doesn&#039;t labour start at home, and fund renewable energy over fossil fuels.....

 and have a look at NZ&#039;s coal industry (imports from Indonesia, exports to China, Japan, Australia and UK etc)...</description>

		<description>Frog, you&#039;re forgetting something. We&#039;re the best in the world, and leaders.  We have to delay, so we can be the best, and lead the world.</description>
