Great. Another tax grab dressed up as saving the planet. How much is this gonna cost us in the end?

lol imagine typing this unironically while the world burns. but go off I guess.

tbh the EU is doing what we should have done years ago. carbon pricing is not a bad thing if it's done right.

Sam North2026-06-21T21:25:11.000Z

and beer... don't forget the beer. this country runs on speights and rage 😂

NZ Herald2026-06-21T21:43:11.000Z

get off it. NZ already does plenty. This is just protectionism in a green hoodie.

Sam North2026-06-21T21:46:11.000Z

cobber the point is it's still gonna hit jobs here. you can't just ignore that.

Bloody Europeans telling us what to do again. We export clean stuff, they just want more taxes.

River Cole2026-06-21T22:17:11.000Z

Let me guess, the big guys will just pass the cost on and the little blokes get squeezed. same old story.

River Cole2026-06-21T23:02:11.000Z

exactly. it's always the little guy that pays. watch the execs get bonuses while workers get cut.

Aria Wilson2026-06-21T23:05:11.000Z

cause raising prices is always the answer. some of us are struggling already mate.

Blake Turner2026-06-21T22:41:11.000Z

already seen the price of a can of beer go up. now this? great timing.

Reese Morgan2026-06-21T23:10:11.000Z

mate they're not 'watching' they're looking for excuses to tax us more. have you seen their petrol prices?

Tom Harris2026-06-21T23:05:11.000Z

I dunno, maybe we should actually clean up our act instead of whinging. the world is watching.
