Sad to see our reputation being wrecked by the need for a three way
coalition - National appears to have given up even those few
environmental policies that they held prior to election day . . .

Rich, to cannibalise a quote for context:
"They won, you lost, eat that".
Our reputation on environmental issues has changed. Such is life. Our
impact on the planet is negligible and only noticed by those that
oppose it on principle.

Whatever your views on the impact New Zealand may have on global
climate, there is a cost to not meeting the international agreement
and thereby the financial commitments we made when the National Party >>signed us up to the International Agreements. Whether other countries >>notice is one thing; spending money to other countries if we do not
meet our commitments is something else again - we do have other issues
we would prefer to spend money on. I do not know what that cost is
however; if it is likely that it will need to be paid it will
presumably appear as a budget item at some stage . . .
Can you name any instances where a change of Government has actually
cost us anything in respect of agreements made by a previous
government and no longer honoured?

No, but there may have been cases - but I suspect we have normally
worked very hard to meet commitments under international treaties we
have signed up to. I also do not know how much we may be up for - at
some point any such payments will presumably need to be planned for as
a budget item; I do not get the impression that costs would be small
enough to ignore. Perhaps others reading nz.general may know more . .
