Time for an update to MP pecuniary interests

by Whaleoil on November 27, 2009 · 3 comments

Now that the gov­ern­ment has passed the ETS there exists the pos­si­bil­ity that there is another way for them to enrich them­selves with­out proper pub­lic scrutiny.

There­fore I pro­pose a change.

I believe that the MPs’ Reg­is­ter of Pecu­niary Inter­ests to now have a spe­cial sec­tion declar­ing MPs’ inter­est in car­bon trad­ing funds/exchanges or related investments.

This is espe­cially impor­tant given the sus­pect sci­ence so we can see who is push­ing to retain or increase the power under the ETS for their own finan­cial benefit.

Agree and I would like to also know the pecu­niary inter­ests of those peo­ple employed by Gov­ern­ment depart­ments (such as Uni­ver­sity lec­tur­ers or those employed by Land Care who are asso­ci­ated with Car­bon Trad­ing com­pa­nies) who have had influ­ence on the government’s stance on Cli­mate Change and car­bon footprints/carbon trad­ing.

It is not about “sav­ing the planet” but it seems to be all about mak­ing money out of car­bon. Not many in NZ realise what the Car­bon Mar­ket is all about. I know my mum wouldn’t.
