Govt considers sidelining Climate Change Commission from emissions advice Climate Change Minister Simon Watts repeatedly denied the plan, but then confirmed it to 1News two days later.

No surprise here - the Govt of the time took great care not to embed or give meaningful power to the commission - any anti climate environment is a resource to be pillaged government coalition was going to hobble & break the commission as a reporting agency. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/19/g...
