Chickens coming home

In April this year the Morgan Foundation published a report entitled “Climate Cheats”. The report exposed New Zealand’s expenditure of some $200 million on fraudulent Russian and Ukranian carbon credits and their fraudulent use to satisfy our internationally agreed emissions targets. It commented that, amongst other things, “this will contribute to further slippage in our international reputation for honesty and transparency.”

Perhaps the chickens are starting to come home to roost and there are fewer overseas leaders keen to line up for a selfie with Mr Key?
