Cartoon. Five frames. Title “Taxonomy” First frame a duck is reading a newspaper headline “Levy to Fund Dirty LNG Energy” The duck says, “Tax? Quack” 2nd frame the duck is walking and says, “Tax! Quack”, as it does in the 3rd and fourth frame. In the last frame the duck is on PM Christopher Luxon’s head, saying, “Tax! Quack” and has done a poo. And Christopher Luxon says, “This … is not a duck”
Quick, dirty and expensive. The govt is going to build a $1 billion liquid natural gas (LNG) import terminal, instead of investing in clean energy. And as for the levy…if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
