#5 Currents: An Energy Update (4/28/25-5/2/25) Links: Why are Electricity Prices So High in Texas?: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/why-are-electricity-prices-so-high-in-texas-da40889b Save the Earthlings from Earth Day: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2025/04/18/save_the_earthlings_from_earth_day_1104748.html Revenue Estimates for Repealing the Clean Vehicle Tax Credits: https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/regulation/revenue-estimates-for-repealing-the-clean-vehicle-tax-credits/

When Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), it was told the new energy tax credits would cost about $270 billion over a decade. Revised official estimates put the cost at multiple times that amount. But congressional scorekeepers may still be getting the long-term cost of the IRA energy subsidies wrong. Recent Cato research quantifies the IRA's fiscal time bomb, showing how its unchecked expansion of government spending with no clear end date could cost almost $5 trillion by 2050.Join us for lunch and learn how the IRA's calamitous environmental and fiscal effects present a rare opportunity for Congress to use these partisan subsidies to fund permanent, pro-growth tax reform in the upcoming reconciliation package.

HR2 Ken Davis: Repealing Biden's War on Household Appliances. National GOP & CO GOP 4-1-25 by John Rush

The B.C. government is racing to pass legislation repealing its consumer carbon tax. Premier David Eby is speaking live in Victoria. Following the press conference, we ask viewers about the move to remove the tax.

Keywords Armed American Radio, Second Amendment, gun rights, concealed carry, Florida gun laws, national reciprocity, SCOTUS, Kavanaugh, Vanderstock case, gun control Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics related to gun rights, including personal anecdotes about the Second Amendment, the current state of concealed carry laws, and the disappointing political landscape in Florida regarding gun legislation. The conversation also covers the implications of the recent SCOTUS Vanderstock case and the potential for national concealed carry reciprocity. Throughout the episode, Walters emphasizes the importance of action and advocacy for gun rights. Takeaways The exercising of your 2A rights is welcomed and expected. Florida has lost its status as the gun shine state. Campus carry legislation faces significant political hurdles. National concealed carry reciprocity is a pressing issue. The SCOTUS Vanderstock case raises important questions about ATF authority. Kavanaugh's concurrence in the Vanderstock case is noteworthy. Gun owners are frustrated with the lack of action from politicians. The need for clear communication and action from the Trump administration is critical. Repealing the ATF rule is essential for gun rights advocates. Advocacy for gun rights must continue despite political challenges.

Election integrity is on President Trump's pen. Zack Smith is a Legal Fellow at Heritage here to explain the fullness of the purpose of this Executive Order.

Should private equity be allowed in your 401(k)? 70 million Americans have roughly $12 trillion in retirement accounts and the high fee private equity firms want a piece of that. Private equity comes with higher risk than traditional stocks and bonds that are found in retirement accounts. The big difference with private equity is they are generally illiquid investments in companies that are too small or risky to issue publicly traded shares. The businesses they invest in don't issue quarterly reports on earnings and the valuations can at best be called questionable. It should be noted that private funds can tie up investors' money for years and may give you some type of loose valuation of what your investment is worth. The fees that these funds charge is around 2 1/2%, which is well above the average fund of a half percent or so in current 401(k)s. Private equity tries to claim their investments far outperform the stock and bond markets, but a study from Boston College in 2024 found that long-term returns for pension funds, which allow alternatives, generated about the same investment return as a 60/40 split of stocks and bonds. Wall Street and the owners of these private equity funds just want to generate more fees even if it means putting your 401(k) in danger with high-risk investments with little to no liquidity. I'm in hopes that private equity's pursuit of trying to get their hands on your retirement accounts hits a brick wall and the regulators protect your retirement plan.    A bitcoin strategic reserve is a terrible idea Last week there was an executive order signed to create a strategic bitcoin reserve for the United States. Crypto enthusiasts were pleased by the action, but disappointed that the order did not specify a buying schedule or clear strategy to buy more bitcoin. In the current fashion, the reserve will include coins that are already owned by the government that it seized from past law enforcement actions. The US currently owns more than 198,000 bitcoins that are worth about $17 billion. Given our large debt and the current deficit, I think it is just silly to borrow money and buy a volatile asset like bitcoin. The government is not here to make investment profits with our taxpayer dollars, if that were the case why wouldn't they also buy individual stocks? Something like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve makes sense as that commodity plays such an important part in our day to day lives. Bitcoin has no impact on our day to day lives and I just can't see what the strategic benefit would be outside of shooting for investment gains. We should be focused on paying down debt and reducing deficits rather than trying to generate investment returns with taxpayer money. I think even the action of keeping seized bitcoin is a mistake as that could be used to reduce debt. As for the price of bitcoin, I believe it could keep falling. There seems to have been a lot of catalysts that took place last year including the launch of ETFs and a more crypto friendly administration taking office. I don't see many new catalysts in the near future, which could lead to steeper declines. For me, I don't want my own dollars or my tax dollars in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter.   Inflation report puts stagflation risks at ease The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February came in at 2.8%, which was below the estimate of 2.9% and less than January's reading of 3%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy came in at 3.1%, which was also below the estimate of 3.2%. This reading was less than January's reading of 3.3% and it marked the lowest increase since April of 2021 when we saw inflation rise 3%. That was really the beginning of the inflation problems as the March 2021 core CPI rate was 1.6%. I've said it before, but with inflation at these levels I really don't see it as a problem. There are some areas like eggs that increased 59% compared to last year, but outside of that most categories are quite tame. Shelter also continues to lift the inflation numbers as the index rose 4.2% in the month of February. This was the smallest increase for the shelter index since December 2021, but it still remains above both the headline and core numbers, which means it is putting upwards pressure on those reports. This report would have shown limited impact from the recent tariffs, so it will be interesting to see in the coming months what the numbers look like as the tariffs work their way through supply chains. I still believe inflation will not be a problem in 2025 and that the Fed will be able to cut rates a few times this year.   Another win on the inflation front The February Producer Price Index (PPI) showed no change in the pricing level when compared to January. For the 12-month period it rose 3.2%, which was much better than last month's reading of 3.7%. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy actually fell 0.1% from January and the annual increase of 3.4% was down from last month's reading of 3.8%. This report helps us breathe a sigh of relief as December and January produced hotter readings. As we've been saying, inflation will not go down in a straight line and month to month the readings will be bumpy, but the general trend should be lower. As we said with CPI, it will be interesting to see how the tariffs impact these inflation reports in the coming months. One thing that does not get much coverage is that we had tariffs back in 2018 and inflation did not see a major spike. Hopefully that will be the case again and we can move on from this battle against inflation that has lasted a few years now.   Who Benefits from Repealing the “SALT” limit? One of the more controversial changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was the $10,000 limit placed on the State and Local Tax (SALT) itemized deduction.  Prior to 2018, those who itemized could deduct the full amount of state income taxes and property taxes on their federal tax returns.  Under current law through the end of this year, only the first cumulative $10,000 of these taxes is deductible.  This obviously hurts high earners in states like California.  Someone making half a million dollars per year and paying $40,000 in California income taxes only receives a deduction on the first $10,000 and receives no additional deduction for any property taxes they pay. While there isn't as much public sympathy for high-income earners paying more tax, this limit also impacted California homeowners, especially first-time homebuyers.  When buying a home in California, property taxes are about 1.2% of the purchase price of that home. Thanks to Prop 13, property taxes increase minimally after purchase and generally much less than the property value increases. This means the longer you own a home, the lower your property taxes are relative to the fair market value of the property.  This also means that property taxes are most expensive when first buying a home.  In California, home values are high, mortgage rates are high, insurance costs are high, utilities are high, and because of the high value of homes, property taxes are also high. Virtually everything about homeownership in California is expensive, so it's no wonder people are struggling to afford a house. This phenomenon has gotten worse in recent years, but it's not new.  Regarding the SALT deduction, it is common for homeowners to have state income taxes and property taxes that exceed the $10,000 limit even if they're not really “high-earners” because of the income needed to simply afford a home and its corresponding property taxes.  A young family could easily be looking at $20,000 to $25,000 just in state and local taxes, most of which would not be deductible due to the SALT limit.  While the SALT deduction is mainly thought of as a high-earner issue, a lot of normal people in California would benefit from its repeal, especially if federal tax rates do not increase back to their pre-2018 levels.   Companies Discussed: DoorDash, Inc (DASH), Rocket Companies, Inc. (RKT) & Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ)

In Palm Beach County, property tax collections have increased by 222% over the prior nine years.

With Florida's surging property values over the previous ten years, we've seen a significant shift in the tax burden being placed on our businesses and non-homesteaded properties.

The bill includes a one-year extension of the 2018 farm bill and $10 billion in economic aid for US farmers. However, a provision allowing the nationwide, year-round sale of E15 fuel was excluded.Direct Farm Payments Set to Arrive in 90 DaysThe $10 billion in direct payments to US farmers is now a "done deal," with payments set to be distributed within 90 days. The payments will be allocated by crop. The payments are part of the stopgap bill, which also includes significant support for the farming community.Argentina's Forecast: Dry Conditions for Soybean AreasArgentina's soybean areas are expected to receive less than half of their normal rainfall over the next two weeks. Although the forecast is slightly wetter than before, the overall trend remains dry. Temperatures are expected to run above normal, further stressing crops. While Argentina is projected to account for just 12% of global soybean production, it is expected to make up 37% of soybean meal exports.Trump Plans to Repeal the Inflation Reduction ActPresident-elect Donald Trump is planning to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was passed by the Biden administration in August 2022. The repeal of the IRA could also risk the loss of 45Z tax credits, which support farming practices that reduce emissions and improve soil carbon. Repealing the IRA would likely require Congressional action, and its rollback could impact the clean energy sector.US Prevails in GMO Corn Trade Dispute with MexicoThe US won a trade dispute with Mexico over its ban of US genetically modified (GMO) corn. A trade panel ruled that Mexico's ban violated the USMCA trade agreement and was not scientifically based. The ban had previously applied to GMO corn for human consumption, but US producers were concerned that it might be extended to GMO corn used for animal feed.Funds Reduce Net-Long Position in CornFunds reduced their net-long position in corn last week, with large money managers reported as net sellers of 8,000 corn contracts. Soybean and SRW wheat contracts also saw net selling.USDA's COF ReportThe USDA's Cattle on Feed report shows that the number of cattle on feed as of December 1 was 12 million head.

This Day in Legal History: Max Headroom IncidentOn November 22, 1987, a bizarre and illegal hijacking of television signals in Chicago made history as the "Max Headroom incident." During an evening broadcast of the news on WGN-TV, the signal was interrupted by a person wearing a rubber Max Headroom mask—a character from a popular British-American sci-fi show. The intruder, who spoke in distorted audio while a buzzing background noise played, reappeared later during a broadcast of "Doctor Who" on PBS affiliate WTTW. In the second interruption, the masked figure performed erratic gestures, spouted nonsensical phrases, and referenced TV culture, all culminating in a crude act involving a flyswatter and exposed buttocks. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), tasked with regulating airwaves, launched an immediate investigation, as signal hijacking violates federal laws prohibiting unauthorized use of broadcast frequencies. Despite efforts by the FCC and law enforcement, the perpetrators were never identified, adding an air of mystery to the event. The technical feat required to override broadcast signals in 1987 suggested that the culprits had considerable expertise and access to specialized equipment.This incident was one of the most notorious cases of broadcast signal intrusion, highlighting vulnerabilities in television networks at the time. It also sparked debates about cybersecurity, freedom of expression, and the emerging role of "hacktivism" in digital media. No further incidents of this type occurred on such a scale in the United States, likely due to improvements in broadcast security and stricter regulatory oversight. President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as Attorney General following Matt Gaetz's withdrawal. Bondi, a longstanding Trump ally, has been a vocal supporter of his claims that the Justice Department's investigations into him were politically biased. If confirmed, Bondi would oversee major aspects of the DOJ, including defending controversial policies and managing federal grants.Trump praised Bondi for her toughness and alignment with his "America First" agenda. Bondi previously served on Trump's legal defense team during his first impeachment trial and has taken high-profile legal stances, including challenging the Affordable Care Act as Florida's Attorney General. However, her tenure has also been marked by controversies, such as accepting a Trump Foundation donation while considering action against Trump University, though no wrongdoing was found.Bondi's nomination comes as Trump plans significant changes to the Justice Department, including possible leadership shifts, and amid ongoing federal indictments against him. Bondi has publicly supported Trump's claims of voter fraud and pledged to investigate alleged “deep state” actors. Her background includes working on drug policy and opioid abuse commissions during Trump's first term and involvement with the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute.Matt Gaetz, initially chosen for the role, stepped down citing the distraction caused by controversies, including a closed sex trafficking investigation and a House Ethics probe. Trump's choice of Bondi highlights his intent to reshape the DOJ's focus while surrounding himself with trusted allies.Trump Picks Pam Bondi for Attorney General After Gaetz Exit (1)Trump picks Pam Bondi for US Attorney General after Gaetz withdraws | ReutersPresident-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with identifying and repealing federal regulations they consider overly burdensome or invalid. The panel plans to focus on rules that they argue were enacted by unaccountable bureaucracies, guided by recent Supreme Court decisions that curtail agency rulemaking powers. DOGE also aims to propose mass layoffs and identify unauthorized federal spending, with a goal of completing its work by July 4, 2026.Repealing federal rules, however, is a complex and lengthy process governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires detailed justifications, public comment periods, and compliance with legal standards. While Trump could issue executive orders halting enforcement of certain rules, agencies must still follow formal procedures for repealing them. Lawsuits are likely to challenge attempts to eliminate regulations, especially by opponents who claim improper justification or procedural violations.Musk and Ramaswamy's efforts will leverage recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agencies' ability to address major economic or societal issues without explicit Congressional authorization. Despite this, many regulations have firm legal backing, making their repeal difficult. Legal experts predict a wave of lawsuits and mixed outcomes, given the partisan makeup of federal courts. DOGE's recommendations signal Trump's broader agenda to significantly curtail the administrative powers of federal agencies.How Trump's Musk-led efficiency panel could slash federal agency rules | ReutersThe European Commission has closed its four-year antitrust investigation into Apple's rules for e-book and audiobook app developers following the withdrawal of the original complaint. The complainant, who remains unnamed, opted to drop the case, prompting regulators to end the probe. The closure does not indicate that Apple's conduct was found to comply with EU competition laws. EU regulators emphasized their ongoing commitment to monitoring tech industry practices, including Apple's, under the Digital Markets Act and broader competition regulations. The case's conclusion reflects the challenges in sustaining antitrust investigations without active complainants, though scrutiny of Apple's business practices in Europe is expected to persist.EU regulators scrap probe into Apple's e-book rules after complaint was withdrawn | ReutersSenate Democrats have agreed to a deal with Republicans to advance votes on President Joe Biden's district court nominees while abandoning four appellate court picks. The agreement allows the Senate to confirm several district court judges quickly, despite GOP stalling tactics aimed at delaying Biden's judicial appointments before Republicans assume control of the White House and Senate in January. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's spokesperson highlighted that the trade-off prioritized advancing more district court nominees over the blocked circuit picks.The deal derails the nominations of Adeel Mangi, Ryan Park, Karla Campbell, and Julia Lipez for appellate court seats. Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim federal appellate judge, faced opposition from some Democrats over allegations linking him to antisemitic and anti-police groups. Park's nomination was also at risk due to lack of Republican support. Meanwhile, the Senate pushed forward on cloture votes for several district court nominees, including Spark Sooknanan, Brian Murphy, Anne Hwang, Cynthia Valenzuela Dixon, and Catherine Henry. Votes on their confirmations will occur after Thanksgiving. Other nominees, such as Sharad Desai for Arizona and several others approved by the Judiciary Committee, also advanced. The agreement leaves critical appellate seats open, including those on the Third and First Circuits, aiding President-elect Donald Trump's agenda to influence the federal judiciary. Some judges considering semi-retirement may now delay their decisions, further impacting the judicial landscape.Biden Circuit Picks Derailed by Senate Deal on Trial Judges (2)This week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach.Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period, widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in Western music history. Born into a family of musicians in Eisenach, he displayed prodigious talent from a young age, mastering the organ, harpsichord, and violin. Throughout his career, Bach held prestigious positions as a court musician, music director, and cantor, most notably serving as the Thomaskantor in Leipzig, where he composed many of his most enduring works. His output includes cantatas, concertos, masses, and instrumental pieces, showcasing an unparalleled command of counterpoint, harmony, and structure. Despite limited recognition during his lifetime, Bach's music profoundly influenced later composers, earning him the title "Father of Music."This week's closing music is Bach's Prelude and Fugue in G minor, BWV 861, from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I. This collection of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys was revolutionary, both as a demonstration of the possibilities of the then-novel well-tempered tuning system and as a masterclass in compositional technique. The G minor prelude opens with a flowing, somber melody that builds in complexity, evoking introspection and elegance. The fugue that follows is a testament to Bach's genius for counterpoint, weaving together a single thematic idea into an intricate tapestry of musical voices.The Prelude and Fugue in G minor exemplifies Bach's ability to transform simple ideas into profound statements, inviting listeners into a world of meticulous craftsmanship and emotional depth. It's a fitting choice to close the week, blending timeless artistry with intellectual rigor.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude and Fugue in G minor, enjoy. This is a public episode.

Repealing the 17th Amendment is the right move to help restore federalism - but is it enough? The Anti-Federalists warned us about dangers in the Senate's structure long before the 17th came along, and without understanding those warnings, we could still end up with the same problems: corruption, power grabs, and more centralized control. The post Repeal the 17th Amendment: Ignored Anti-Federalist Warnings on the Senate first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

The Week in Sustainability October 14–18, 2024 This week: We focused on the Climate Commitment Act in Washington State and the push to repeal it during this upcoming election. Launched in 2023 this legislation targets major business emitters, aiming to significantly reduce emissions and align with IPCC and SBTI targets. It has already generated $2 billion for various mitigation projects, including retrofitting buildings and electrifying transportation. Despite its successes, critics, notably the political action committee Let's Go Washington, attribute rising gas prices to the Act, though evidence contradicts this claim. Repealing the Act would not only undermine climate action but also prioritize business interests over community needs, potentially increasing the long-term costs of climate change.

This Day in Legal History: Fugitive Slave Act SignedOn September 18, 1850, U.S. President Millard Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act into law, a key and highly controversial component of the Compromise of 1850 and a dark moment in American history – unfortunately, one among many in the 19th century. The Act required that escaped slaves, even if they had reached free states, be captured and returned to their enslavers. It also imposed heavy penalties on anyone who aided a fugitive slave, including fines and imprisonment. Disturbingly, the law authorized federal marshals and local law enforcement to arrest individuals based on little more than a slaveholder's claim, placing free Black men and women at risk of being falsely accused and sold into slavery.The Fugitive Slave Act enraged abolitionists and free states in the North, who viewed the law as a gross infringement on their legal sovereignty and moral principles. Northern citizens were now legally obligated to participate in the enforcement of slavery, a practice many detested. Conversely, slaveholders in the South celebrated the law as a victory, seeing it as essential for the preservation of their economic system. This deepened the divide between North and South, escalating tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War. The Act's passage not only exposed the fragility of compromises between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions but also galvanized the abolitionist movement. It showed how far the federal government was willing to go to protect the institution of slavery, making resistance increasingly inevitable.In a piece I wrote for Forbes, I weighed in to a tax policy proposed by former President Donald Trump. Floated by Trump at a rally in Arizona, the "No Tax on Overtime" policy aims to eliminate income tax on overtime pay, echoing a previous proposal to end taxes on tips. While the policy is presented as a way to relieve tax burdens on hourly workers, a closer analysis reveals several potential issues. By creating a tax-free incentive for overtime, the policy could favor workers able to put in extra hours, leaving others—like working parents—disadvantaged. This could deepen income inequality, as those unable to work overtime would continue paying taxes on their standard wages, while others benefit from a lighter tax burden. Additionally, employers may shift compensation structures to push for longer working hours, leading to lower base wages and a culture of overwork. Implementation of the policy would also create administrative challenges for employers and the IRS. Instead of targeted tax breaks, broader reforms like increasing the federal minimum wage might better address wage inequities without distorting the labor market.‘No Tax On Overtime' Policy Would Be Even Worse Than ‘No Tax On Tips'In the first 10 days of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, lawyers contributed more to her than they did to Donald Trump's campaign over nearly two years, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Harris received nearly $8.3 million from around 26,000 contributions from individuals listing "attorney" or "lawyer" as their occupation after Joe Biden endorsed her in July 2024. In comparison, Trump's campaign, which began in November 2022, raised about $6.88 million from lawyers over that entire period. Lawyers have historically favored Democratic candidates, with Harris's and Biden's campaigns together raising significantly more from the legal profession than Trump's campaign. In previous elections, Democratic candidates like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden have all received much more financial support from lawyers than their Republican counterparts. The data reflects a broader trend where large law firms and individual lawyers increasingly lean toward Democratic candidates.Lawyers Give More to Harris in 10 Days Than Trump in Entire RaceDonald Trump recently pledged to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, a tax break he limited during his presidency as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In a post on Truth Social, Trump promised to reverse the $10,000 cap on SALT deductions, which has disproportionately impacted residents in high-tax areas like New York, especially in suburban areas where property values are high. The cap was initially supported by Republicans as it helped balance tax cuts elsewhere in the law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's reversal, pointing out that Trump himself had imposed the cap. Repealing the limit could add an estimated $1.2 trillion to the cost of extending the tax law. Trump's focus on this issue, particularly in Long Island, reflects the area's significance in ongoing battles for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.Trump Pledges to Restore SALT Write-Off, Tax Break He Curbed (1)Yesterday, on September 17, 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills designed to protect actors and performers from unauthorized use of their digital likenesses by artificial intelligence. One bill mandates that contracts specify when AI-generated replicas of a performer's voice or image will be used, requiring the performer to have professional representation in contract negotiations. The other bill prohibits the commercial use of digital replicas of deceased performers without consent from their estates. These laws respond to growing concerns in the entertainment industry about AI's potential to exploit performers' likenesses without permission, part of broader fears about AI's ethical and legal implications.California governor signs legislation to protect entertainers from AI | Reuters This is a public episode.

Rep. Garrett Graves joins Bob to discuss his effort to force a House vote on H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act. Rep. Graves talks about his bipartisan work with Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) to finally address the unfair Social Security treatment suffered by millions of Americans who either worked for federal, state and  local governments, or are their dependents. Rep. Graves commended NAPS for prioritizing this issue and for waging a multi-pronged legislative campaign to secure the signatures of at least 218 members of the House to sign a discharge petition to bring H.R. 82 to a floor vote. You can join this campaign by linking to the campaign here. Bob also briefly talks about a Postal Service-hosted technical conference on the Delivering for America plan, which is a prerequisite for its request for an Postal Regulatory Commission Advisory Opinion on the plan.

The coalition government is sticking to its guns on a promise to repeal Section 7AA of the Children's Act, despite expert testimony condemning the move.  

Former Children's Minister Tracey Martin is warning the government against repealing section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki act. Martin spoke to Corin Dann.

Submissions on the legislation to repeal Section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act have been heard this week at parliament, the overwhelming majority of them in opposition to the Bill. Most have pointed to the Bill as a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi, while another submitter who works in social investment queried the long term costs the policy reversal would have on the taxpayer. However, the ACT party, whose coalition agreement with National secured the legislations removal, said it is about supporting universal human rights, Lillian Hanly reports.

Repealing the state's CO2 tax could save billions but at the cost of cutting funding for hundreds of state employees and numerous projects.
