Our dear Labour Government is so set on following the Kyoto Protocol about reducing greenhouse gases that they've introduced a "fart" tax on farm animals breaking wind (which, they claim, is a greenhouse gas and a danger to the ozone layer.) I jest not. You'll see it all over every New Zealand paper for months back.
If only all our governments took their responsibilities so seriously. The more I hear about New Zealand the more I feel like emigrating. How are they going to measure this though? I assume you can get a lower tax by feeding them low-flatulence foodstuffs?
