Promise: One Billion Trees

“This government is committed to a new planting programme, planting 100 million trees a year to reach a billion more trees in ten years.”

Speech from the Throne

Broken Promise:

No matter how you cut it the billion trees over 10 years promise is absolute nonsense.  It’s not being delivered and won’t be.

The Prime Minister claimed in a video that her Government had planted 140 million trees.

The NZ Herald: “FALSE – As of late October, just under 150 million trees have been planted in New Zealand, but the number of trees planted as a direct result of the Government’s funding is 25 million.”
