The Government's new plan to make farmers pay an emissions tax isn't being well-received so far. 

In the interest of maintaining a positive reputation with the farming community, National Party Leader Chris Luxon says that National will repeal this tax scheme if elected in 2023.

Chris Luxon went on to state that this tax plan is bad for the state of the farming industry, jobs, and rural communities. 

"We're talking about one fifth of our sheep and beef industry being decimated by 2030, just in seven years time. That's a big problem for us economically. This is an industry that generates basically $9,000 dollars for every man, woman, and child in the country."
