All right, the Prime Minister at Field Days yesterday said that New Zealand will not be buying five billion dollars worth of overseas carbon credits, and that came up because Treasury estimates that that five bill is about what New Zealand would have to spend to meet our Paris Agreement commitments by 2030. He said that yesterday. I think that was the biggest story of yesterday. Forget the public transport idea, you know. 65 million so-called from labor. This is actually quite a big thing. We will not be buying five billion dollars worth of overseas carbon credits. The Green Party co-leader Koei Swarbrick says if we're going to miss our Paris target, then we need to front up about it right now, and the government needs to front up about it right now.

So uh do we have to pay this five billion or not?
